But if Glynn is leaving on top of Merrick then I'd hope and expect we're looking to bring in two locks. Can't really afford to bring in two international players to replace two non-internationals. So if we assume Young is the identified talent to replace Glynn (who has been stoic but is clearly never going to be a top Prem player) you'd have to trust that Gussy has done his homework and spotted something worth having. And at 6'7" and over 16.5st he's got the physical attributes we need - happy to see what this guy can do.
I'd hope at 6'7" he weighs at least a stone more than 16.5! That would put him about 2.5/3 stone lighter than Dombrandt.
Anyone know what Stan South's contract status is? I heard that Exeter were sniffing around and that his training stats suggested he deserved more of a look-in ahead of others. Maybe with Merrick and maybe Glynn going, he'll get more chances.
