Wasps can today confirm the signing of tighthead prop @MikeyDaniels4 ahead of the 2019/20 season!

Great news.  Another decent TH is never a bad thing, and he knows us, and Dai knows him so I suspect he'll do just fine!

Presumably not the news touted by Goode as forthcomming?
We certainly seem to be stocking up the second/third/fourth choice front row choices.

Does it beat the time Matt Mullan chased down James Hook and bundled him into touch to save a try?

Was Mullan playing prop in that game, or was he the hooker?
No that it matters - he still shouldn't catch a top level utility back

true, it would be close...Matt was a bit of a freak too at full tilt.

ZZ has shown some serious wheels in his highlights too.

Thornton on Onyeama-Christie have also run in from distance for the A team this year too, do like it when a prop breaks!!

So now:
LH - McIntyre, ZZ, Harris, West, Thornton, Onyeama-Christie (u18 Grad?)

Hooker- Taylor, Cruse, Johnson, TJ?, Oghre, (Barbeary)

TH - JT-A, Brookes, Owlett, Daniels, Alo?Langley?, Hunt

Possibly looking at four in each position in the front row with a couple more academy players for each position too. Looking well stocked.
Biggest hope is that McIntyre can recover or bow out from the game still in a safe state

Not that I've seen, but if you want to see an astonishing turn of speed for a prop to run in a try from his own half check out this video from about 3.30

That replacement fly half chasing him should hang his head in shame

Seriously though, the pace is impressive, but keeping it up over that distance is amazing too.
I think he could have got nearer the posts though.

No longer coming it seems

(From the bottom of the Umaga announcement)

"Meanwhile, Wasps can confirm that tighthead-prop Mike Daniels will no longer be joining the Club ahead of the 2019/20 season after failing a medical."

Interesting, you would think medicals would have been done at the time of signing? Why would it take from February to June to find out he's got a problem?
