3 bombs on the tweet as well? A clue no doubt. Maybe 3 signings? Or related to players name?

Or we're signing Adam Jones for coaching?

The SA press is all over Dillyn Leyds having signed with us, so I would assume that will be, at least, part of the announcement.

A bit more from Bobby Bridge.

Glad to see Tom's faith in Wasps. As Bobby says his re-signing is a coup for Wasps as he would improve the majority of squads in the Premiership.

Great news. He was my 2nd choice for Wasps player of the season last year and he's put a herculean effort in covering for TT this season.

Ben Vallacott must be some player though.. it looks like we've signed him twice.. how does that effect the salary cap?

From Bobby's article :-

IN (8): Malakai Fekitoa (Toulon), Jeffery Toomaga-Allen (Hurricanes), Jack Owlett (Exeter Chiefs), Mike Daniels (Nottingham), Ben Vellacott (Gloucester), Matteo Minozzi (Zebre), Ben Vellacott (Gloucester), Sione Vailanu (Saracens)

Cruse is arguably our no one hooker, surely....? I mean TT and Ashley have been out of it so long...
Great player to re-sign.

Agreed.
If TT can get back to where he was, and also still have improvement in the locker, then he'd be No1.
But he's not there at the moment, and until then, Tom Cruse is performing better and more consistently
