Not necessarily. There is a "vacancy" in squad resulting from Tom Croft's retirement. He could be coming to fill that.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2017 6:30 pmHe's been injured otherwise he'd be in the team. Good player and he covers the backrow.

Andy Goode said so on the Rugby Pod and he's well in with Wasps at the mo being part of their hospitality team.
...we could do with top class talent in that area although we're not Bath or Sarries I guess.....

The first Cordoba line, Facundo Gigena, agreed to its continuity Rugbística in one of the giants of England and will be new reinforcement of Leicester for two seasons. Another sensitive low for Jaguars that already lost four first lines this season.
Looking to give a boost to his professional career and after being tested in the institution during the early days of December, the former man fell to an agreement with Leicester to join his ranks from January 2018.
The Cordoba forward had had a good performance in this 2017 and participated in the World XV team that played with Japan in the last November window, but was looking to acquire continuity to exploit all its virtues.

I’ve seen a Facebook clip of him on Youtube, seems an aggressive robust ball carrier, a big hitter and decent in the scrum, but you have got to take that with a pinch of salt though as you have to consider the quality of players he’s against put he does look like an upcoming talent that could prove valuable. I think play on both sides of the scrum but got his Argentinian and Jaguares caps as loosehead.

I assumed Mafi was a direct replacement for Croft, although that seems to have gone quiet now.

Mafi and Spencer would be a good start. Would love the Spencer rumour to be true.

I shall certainly be watching BTSport1 at 7pm Friday evening with more than usual interest for a 'bottom of the table' clash! (Warriors 3, 5 and 12 in particular!)
