Kingsley Jones just mentioned Gareth Evans on Sport Wales so he clearly know's about him. Maybe he is a replacement for Faletau at the Dragons.
If only it was Rainin

Reading Johnny McNicholl's Twitter page leads me to believe that Kieron Fonotia  is his best mate at the Crusaders so there may be something in the rumour that he has signed for us.
YMLAEN SCARLETS!!!

Strange selection Kruger. He sounds as if he'll be our 3rd choice 3 and we are willing to use up one of our
NWQ spots on him!!. We definitely need a pool of 4 tight heads as Samson will be with Wales for a good part of the season which puts a lot of pressure on 35year old Pete if we think his deputy is not up to it scrummaging - and this ignores any injuries. Not having a sound scrummaging 3 for a few months a year could lose us a lot of important games. Maybe we've been lucky in this respect this season.

Pivac in today's presser said the following:

We’re doing a lot of work on a weekly basis to strengthen the squad.

Sounds promising, a couple of locks and Mcnicholl please...!

I haven't seen the game but sounds very promising for next season if he has indeed signed!!

Less promising is the fact Kruger is fit but hasn't even made it onto the Bulls bench so far this season. 


McNicholl had a very busy game and crossed over for a decent try that was then disallowed for the previous player having a toe in touch.

Yep, he started the move from a quick lineout throw too. Wasn't given much ball to work with but he was indeed busy. He even made a few appearances in midfield at second receiver in the second half. Looks a good prospect.

We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

What kind of attributes does Gareth Evans have? A ball carrier? Is he WQ?

I was talking about Gloucester's Gareth (Not Bryn) Evans. Don't know if he's coming to us though. It'll probably be Blues or Dragons.
