If true I’d imagine that would mean TPN not returning after the World Cup

Why would Polota-Nau not return after the World Cup?

, that’s going to create some jokes on the training ground with him and Spencer.

Would be a great signing. I think when he was with Sale he had something like 100% set piece accuracy at scrum and lineout. When fit in my mind one of the best hookers in the league. Like a Duracell bunny in open play.

[Goshengareth]

Definite improvement on OTY.

Why would Polota-Nau not return after the World Cup?

Because unless Tom Youngs is hanging up his boots you couldn’t have those 3 hookers in the same squad

I had heard that Tom Youngs was considering becoming a TMO or Citing Officer at the end of the season.

[Mark62]

Rumoured that Fekitoa not resigning with Toulon. I’d take him for a couple of seasons

[strawclearer]

Twitter rumours of an incoming Argentinian scrum-half. Felipe Ezcurra mentioned by a few.

[dunc]

Why?

Is that an injury dispensation?

Whilst I don't know the extent of the injuries both Sam Harrison and Harry Simmons are currently injured. Ben Youngs picked up a knock against Worcester. So that leaves us with just Ben White as a fully fit scrum half. To get some backup seems eminently sensible. I don't know whether this is injury dispensation.

[TTRITH]

Everything seems to be very quiet on the Harrison/Simmons injuries.

I also believe (although RagingBull seems to be far more intune with this than me) that YBY is out of contract this season. I'm not suggesting that he will go, but bringing in a scrum half now could help mitigate the possible loss of Ben.

I don't think he's out of contract. He only signed a new one in January. Unless it was only a one year extension.

Simmons is out long term, last I saw his leg was in braces and he was walking on crutches.

Ben Youngs signed a new contract in January, so won't be up this season.
Guess Ben Youngs
