Chris Cloete - backrow player signed from the Kings on 3 year deal.
Gerbrandt Grobler - lock signed from R92 on 1 year deal.
Should complete their PP/NIQ signings for the season ahead - Marshall, Kleyn and Cloete - PP and Grobler and Taute - NIQ. Interesting that they have been allowed to sign 2 non Irish locks.

The back row lad is 5 FT 9. A modern Neil Back. Munster with more Saffers than Ulster now
Cloete is an excellent player. Any time I've seen him play, he has been the standout player on the pitch. He is nearly impossible to shift when he is over the ball. He is also a very good ball carrier, he is basically a ball of muscle. Very hard to put down because of his low centre of gravity. His height is an advantage in the way he plays.
POM, Cloete and Stander will form some backrow. I can't think of many better in Europe.
