Regards Ewers, he's got some serious lineout skills as a tail end gunner and maul specialist.
Not seen this mentioned much.

Nobody is bullying that.
Treadwell covers the grass like an open side. Allows a slower backrow.
Theres a former captain of France U20s playing week in week out at tight head for Brive in the Top 14.jean valjean wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 3:14 pm If JTA can prove his worth over the next 4 months he is in a good spot to get another year with us. With martys injury and TOT potentially away with ireland there is a serious case to be made for another season. On the other hand there must be a Georgian tight head somewhere looking a post world Cup deal.

Why are you telling me this I hear you say? Well I'll tell you this and tell you no more. His Ma and Da are Irish, he moved to France when he was a wee lad.
His names Daniel.... cannot mind the surname, anyway doubt its important, Daniel of Brive should be enough to get him signed. Worry about the detail after.

I'd be happy keeping JTA as long as his injury profile stands up.SUFTUM_19 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 3:44 pmI imagine there are two options:jean valjean wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 3:14 pm If JTA can prove his worth over the next 4 months he is in a good spot to get another year with us.

1) We keep JTA as our 3rd NIQ, meaning we lose Carter and are unable to sign an NIQ replacement second row (which some suggest we need)
Or
2. We lose JTA, and (if finances allow) use his spot to sign an NIQ second row. But then we would have to look at signing an IQ tighthead prop to back up Moore and O’Toole and/or keep Milasinovich on as 3rd choice as he is Irish qualified.
Would personally go for the first option with Moore’s injury and O’Toole possibly at the RWC, as well as the fact I can’t think of many Irish qualified tighthead props who would move to be 3rd choice, maybe someone like Jack Aungier from Connacht?
Still think we need to sign another second row, back row and fly half (if Mads and Flannery are leaving) but if we already have Kitshoff, JTA and Ewers, they would all have to be Irish qualified you’d imagine.
Though if we managed to somehow keep JTA as some sort of medical joker, that might give us some leeway with the IRFU to let us sign another NIQ. Wishful thinking tho
