Unless it's a big coincidence George Thornton playing 1 for Wasps is a Market Harborough lad, played through all the age groups for Mkt Harb RFC and also got in the Scotland U18/20 (not sure which) team.

Another one we've let go to our new neighbours?

BJ Edwards is a new name. A quick google suggests he's a 22 year old Aussie lock.

Played Scotland U18 and U20, good young player and a strong runner, very good poacher and now seems to be learning to do some of that amongst the men, scored last night.
Fred T age group.
Not the only potential prop missed IMO, a tight head from the year group below from Hinckley and now in the forces, and who I'd bet George remembers having to face with the Colts down at Leicester Road.

14-5 up after half an hour with tries from scrum half Pointon and a Matt Smith interception. Wasps then scored 42 unanswered points (7 tries) before Tigers got a consolation to finish 21-47.
