Minozzi to Wasps has flown completely under the radar with no leaks about it happening that I've heard.

A fantastic signing by Wasps. Naturally a step down from Willie le Roux but still a brilliant attacking player who will command a smaller wage.

Wasps sign Matteo Minozzi
Always wanted to see Nanai at Tigers, he's been one of the best players at the Blues for years now

Matteo Minozzi is a great signing, assuming he recovers well from his knee injury.

@kpj tiger

Fully agree on Nanai. Gutted to see him move to Worcs. Thought he’d make a very good Tigers player - upgraded version of Betham.

Agreed, one of the best fullbacks in Europe and great replacement for WLR. Even with their outgoings Wasps are still going to have a decent team.

Rumoured that he's considering a switch back to League with Warrington.

His Union career has stalled somewhat so I could see there being truth in it as well.

Based on many of the comments on here, isn't every player that we sign long term injured, a journeyman or both :smt002 :smt003

Direct replacement for Nathan Hughes, I imagine.
