Matias Aguero signing confirmed

Post by rocktop51 »

Now confirmed that we have signed loose-head prop Matias Aguero as cover for injured duo Michele Rizzo and Logovi'i Mulipola according to BBC

Apologies if this is mentioned somewhere else !

My wife is a life-long Manchester City fan so she nearly had a heart attack when she saw the headline "Aguero signs for Leicester" :smt002

Signing looks good in the circumstances

So Tigers have made a short term signing of an Italian prop, to cover for an injured Italian prop, who covers for a Samoan prop and an Argentinian prop.

But apparantly club rugby is not to blame for woes at International level, even though the scrum got destroyed in the RWC.

We are already supplying two thirds of the front row. You want us to provide the other third as well!?

Providing they don't ask him to make a complete prat of himself modelling a Rudolf jumper he should do fine :smt003

Just to complicate it further he is an Italian Argentinian prop or an Argentinian Italian prop if you prefer (a la Castro)

I think it is a bit different in the front row. If we were short a winger or scrum half you could promote one of your English academy boys (like we did against Quins with the young 9). In the front 5 however you can't do this otherwise they would get broken very quickly.

That's why I was apprehensive about Balmain's move to loose head - if he's any good we'd lose him too.

Come on, Dicky: everyone knows that, on this forum, you have to replace lose with "loose"!
PS have you moved yet?

Over-conditioning and lightening your pack to play an expansive game which never materialised, dropping your best scrummaging hooker (whether right or wrong decision) and having two more mobile less powerful locks resulted in the England scrum getting minced. It had precisely nothing to do with the state of club rugby in England and the presence or absence of international props in some teams.

Got both into the same sentence and used them correctly - do I get ejected from the forum? And no.
