Good spot Davy.

Wouldn't necessarily assume that we have permission for a medical joker.

Possibly have to find the right player first and then ask permission from DN and that might depend on who the player is, but at least we seem to be looking.

On the other hand, it's possible that we have approval in principle, so long as the criteria in the advert are met?

Is there a player meets those criteria, and willing to come for a few months only?

I have made my opinion very clear on medical jokers so I will say no more. Whoever we sign I will welcome to the team with open arms but I'd rather we gave someone internal a chance instead.

So the way to do it is cart before the horse then?

Scott Higginbotham would more than likely be free for that period with a little bit of negotiation, I sure there are several South Africans who would be available. Super Rugby ends in July, provincial championship then take over. A decent player who as served his club well shouldn't have too much trouble getting a leave of absence if the money is right and he fancies a different experience.

Then of course, Tim Boyes may be free, he already knows most of the calls.

Higginbothan would be a heck of a shout.

I'd imagine that Nuciwhatshisface, or Sauron to his friends, will require us to seek permission to look for someone and then have the appointment approved under his all seeing eye.

As much as I like Pedrie, I hope we are aiming a lot higher than that, no disrespect to Pedrie but he is well past his sell by date. Not sure whither this guy has been signed on anywhere after his short term contract with Bath expires but Amanaki Mafi would do.

There's a boy called Sean Reidy, I think he'd be worth a shot.

Not really. It's playing the system and going to Nucifora with a plan already in place and answers to questions that make it hard for him to say no. ...... after which he may well say no anyway, but it's probably better than going to him in the first instance with nothing and getting shot down before you even get started.

Sadly, with a little checking I see Higginbotham would not be available given he is committed in Japan & their season runs from November to January. That notwithstanding there will be players of that nature available, depends if they want a wee earner in their off-season.

I would largely agree with Ruckie about ideally filling the gaps from within, the problem being that we haven't seen enough of any of the likely young lads to assume they may cope with the demands of an SDC contest. If a good player with 20 plus Super rugby games behind him is available then given the level of player we are replacing I would go for it.

Maybe Ruchie would fancy a brief experience, just for a change of scene you understand. Maybe Nucifeckdog would approve him since he won't be playing international rugby.

Will you be saying the same thing when after a couple of injuries we are down to Cross, Dow and Wilson during the AI window?
