Tbh I havnt seen much of Phil,what’s he like?

Looks good, young exciting prospect, played especially well in the group game against us in the PRC, his try in that one was great footwork.

North of 15 stone as well (according to LI website) so not a small bloke either. Looks a player primed to be developed by Borthwick and his coaching team. Could be a very canny signing.

I can imagine when the signings are announced - rumoured to be imminent this week. There may be one or two players no one has mentioned yet or which has been leaked.

[RagingBull]

To be fair I can also see the club not announce anything just because the press said to be announced next week lol

Very true... I definitely can see us waiting till post Leinster, depending on the result a further week after that

He was very impressive in the second half of the last PRC group game at MWWR.

So sounds like we have him till December.

[TigerFeetSteve]

Sounds like a smart move if he can cover during the autumn internationals that would be great. The only international period we lose all internationals at once, his experience will be great

Unless he plays for Fiji

[RagingBull]

So Nadolo salary will be half.
So that + Van Wyk prob = Watson salary.

Not been in recent Fiji squads, since 2020 Autumn Internationals, so whilst possible I think unlikely.

I think last AIs the Fijian coaching set up were trying to blood younger players and so were phasing out some of the older guys like Kini and Nemani. They know they can bring them back in for the world cup if required but in the meantime can start to grow the pool of players, let's face it Fiji won't be short of back three options either.
