Title: Loan prop
Post by: Chunky24 on January 23, 2019, 07:42:29 PM

Biyi Alo on short term loan from Cov Rugby, formerly of Saracens and Worcester , presumably to cover tightened in premiership cup.

Missed this, missed that he’d even come back from France. Anyone know why he left France so quickly.

Absolute monster of a man but obviously that size does also impact on the fitness levels.
Could well be worth keeping tabs on him as wonder if Dai could work some magic to sure him up in the scrum. Seem to remember him not having a great day against Matt Mullan in yesteryear.

Brookes is our, JCW is on holiday and would assume Stuart is too, wider academy prop Alex Hunt is also crocked leaving David Langley who has not been given a lot of chances this year so maybe Langley and Alo for the Prem Cup

Is Tom West available at loose head?

Don’t think he’s injured, wasn’t he travelling prop cover recently?

Would hope it’s west to start with McIntyre eased back in, alternatively Thornton if he’s fit or not required by Nottingham

Yes. Saw this as well.

Yes, assume it is based on him being here on short loan rather than anything else, with other TH Daniels rumour and if Brookes also stays would give us plenty of whatever the collective noun for tighthead is (a grunt?)
