Managed to zoom in a bit, and he definitely looks Fijian. Big unit. Looks familiar, looks a bit like a young Wycliffe Palu.

On a side note, Viljoen is as big as George Martin.

Pita Gus Sowakula? That would be a good signing for us, primarily Number 8 but like most Fijians can play anywhere in the Back 5.

Looks too young, to be honest
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Looks very similar, if so he is 32 and unproven but still I really like the signing, hopefully more like this to come!

Well he looks pretty similar and an absolute beast but will be 33 when the season starts so maybe a one year signing to help cover the RWC/Denton and add some depth. Got a good write up in the Army Vs Navy match.

Don’t think this guy looks like either of the two mentioned names. Looks the same build as Guy Thompson.

As a potential dispensation whilst Denton is recovering someone like Boladau being borrowed from London Scottish makes sense, but I’m not convinced it is him from the photos.

I'm pretty sure it's Boladau as i'm pretty sure he's based in Aldershot and he's also roughly the same height as Thompson in the pictures and listed.
