Just realised that video is a couple of days old, and the account holder may well be a sports agent. A bit fortuitous?

Lock and 6 cover, I assume.

Welcome to Josh. Obviously it adds some depth but it will be interesting to see how he is deployed. Leaving JL and WR out of it current pecking order seems to be JG, TC, LD and TV. I imagine TV will still be ahead of Caulfield?

Could be right Nelly.

Does that mean Tom Stanton next?

Good highlights reel.

Experience of playing for Exeter against good premiership sides - mostly at 6.

Didn’t Ben Harris join us in similar circumstances?

Welcome Josh and good luck.

I like the highlights reel, bit of everything in there, liked all of the offloads/late passes.

However he hasn't had any meaningful rugby since the end of winter nor have the Championship clubs been in training (Neil Fowkes still with us) so how long before he is an asset is anyone's guess.

looks a good signing  and Tom Stanton doesn't look too bad either ;)

He went to my old school and coaches did rate him, not as high as Thorley or Clement but highly sought after.
