Could be a good signing for sure, and at 26 has a few years on Andre. Fairly versatile too, so would be happy with that

- for anyone who doesnt watch SR.

Would be very happy with him

Looks great - except for the fact he seems to play exclusively at 13... Although that reel displays attributes that could transfer nicely into the 12 shirt, it's not always that simple (especially to transition defensively) and he'd have a lot less space to get up to full steam in attack. We're not light on options at 13 so if this is true it would suggest we think he has what it takes to make the move inside.

Meanwhile, Ruck are reporting that we’re on the verge of signing Ollie Lawrence. I don’t know if we can afford both, but maybe we can because Andre is presumably on a decent wedge.

Lawrence coming to the Stoop could make sense for him and for Quins. It’s becoming clearer that England’s attacking system is designed much more for Marcus than it is for Ford or Fin, and if Lawrence wants to cement his place as England’s first choice 12 (which seems to be the slot that’s open for him) then playing regularly alongside England’s first choice 10 might appeal - especially since Oscar Beard is a potential contender for the 13 shirt in the future.

The more I see the more I'd be happy with Menoncello, maybe Louis and Tommaso could put a good Quins word in





Surprised a French club not picked him up yet, or maybe they are about to

Lawrence would be probably the best we could get, I think with Marcus at 10, and Joseph at 13, it could certainly be an England core and that’s no bad thing

Looks more like a 12 than the 12 he's playing with in the video...

Saw he had a drugs (supply only) ban a few years ago, so probably has knuckled down to get rid of the stigma. Can't believe the Aussies would be happy with him playing outside of the colonies but may not be able to offer him the money he would get here.

Fissler saying he’s signed with Leicester rather than choosing Quins

Makes sense considering the Aussie connection at Tigers and the rumours of them losing Porter and Scott at the end of the season.
