Sounds like a reasonable journeyman.

Well in truth I've no idea but looking at his 17 minute highlight reel on YouTube, I feel I am an expert now. He can't be worse than some of the dross we have served up at loosehead this year.

He seems to have a bit of gas for a prap and should be a decent a scrummager. He nailed a few big names in the vid below.

Its worrying that he isn't a starter for the Kings. Though he is only 26 and hopefully is much better than what we already have.

Give him a few weeks in the AIL to prepare him for the jump up to the pro 12.

I think I seen someone mention before, their captain is a Loosehead. But hasn't he just returned to the Kings?

If he's a project then surely he has signed for 3yrs.
