Don't know anything about him, but in Gussy we trust. Presumably Bomb has also approved, which is good enough for me.

HARLEQUINS IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THE SIGNING OF FORMER SCOTLAND U20 TIGHTHEAD PROP MAK WILSON.

Starting all five U20 Six Nations Championship games for Scotland earlier this year, the promising young prop arrives at Harlequins from Melrose-based Super 6 outfit the Southern Knights.

Commenting on his move to South West London, Wilson said: “I come from quite a small town in Scotland, so to sign with a big English team like Harlequins is something I found extremely humbling, and I’m grateful for the chance to play here.

“When this type of opportunity comes up, it’s something you have to take. I am looking forward to the next challenge alongside exciting coaching and playing staff.

“I want to thank everyone for the help and guidance I’ve received at the grassroots level during my time at Duns and Melrose. The help I have received from coaches like Robert Chrystie, who was my Head Coach at Melrose and the Southern Knights, has been invaluable.”

Harlequins Academy Manager Chim Gale said: “Mak is a promising young tighthead who has earned his chance to take the next step up in his career. He has represented Scotland throughout the age-grades and impressed us during this year’s U20 Six Nations.

“We are excited to see Mak add to the environment and continue his development with Quins”

Maybe Sassone/Baxter haven't made it and have been released?

Would be amazed if it's Baxter who is being let go. England under 18 captain who is widely regarded as the best prop in his age group.

Maybe Sassone then - definitely haven't heard much about him for a while. Missed Baxter's deal - that's good news.

Does really feel like we're looking ahead to 3/4 years from now, when Marler and Collier may be staring retirement in the face. Good stuff.

Well we certainly seem to be investing in the future of our front row. In Sunday’s TRP, Gussy mentioned that he’s looking at options for another loosehead. I’m assuming the article was written after Els’ signing so we may yet have more incoming.

I’d imagine it’d be a similar young player if we do go down that route.

We should field him he next time we play Falcons just to maximise the confusion with Mark Wilson.

I hope you're talking about the new prop, and not me!
