JDV for this season
Maybe Toomua, SBW, Nadolo etc for next season.

Surely JDV has already decided against coming to Tigers?

JDV left the World Cup with a knee injury so doubt that he will be available

Jaw injury.

Well, if he's injured he qualifies

Would like to see the link, RB; all recent articles that I saw were saying that he changed his mind

No idea what it says but I picked out a few key words. JDV for a season, then SBW? Not too shabby.

he former Springbok captain Jean de Villiers will continue his career apparently at the Leicester Tigers.

The 34-year-old center recently his retirement from Test rugby announced after a kakebeenbesering he in a World Cup group match against Samoa gained in Birmingham.

De Villiers, who was injured underwent surgery in Cape Town and has since rejoined the Bok camp him.

kakebeen besering = jaw injury

Surely we can do better than JDV?

Such as? Give us some names of players who are out of contract and better the JDV.

Is it possible some of these potential signings might be injury dispensation (is that the right expression?)

Our squad suddenly seems quite big again.

What's wrong with JDV. More than a hundred caps for the Boks, good all rounder and great leader and organiser. What's not to like for one season?

I would prefer we sign a player at the front end of their career not the back.

I posed a question and you reply with a question, not an answer.

You said "Surely we can do better than JDV"? It's more of a statement with a question mark thrown on the end.

This is a discussion board and if I was talking to you face to face and you made that statement, I would have answered with the same thing.

Yes perhaps we could do better than JDV, such as SBW who we are also rumoured to be signing when his contract runs out for the 2016/2017 season but I'll be very happy if we sign a player of JDV's quality. I will be delirious if we sign SBW!

That good enough for you?!
