Who are the other 6 then? Or am I missing something?

[kingsheathlad]

i suppose it is the ones listed on the whats new page of our site with their profiles.

[billesleynomad]

Or not, as the players listed on the what's new page are Adams, Quigley, Robinson and Brown who have all been signed with us for some time now.
Bit of a slap in the mush for the other 6 signings not getting a mention in the press release isn't it?

[markd]

... or perhaps the headline writer was too quick on the keys -"sevens star" perhaps?

[billesleynomad]

A good thought but for the following 2 sentences:

"Head Coach and former Irish 70 cap international centre Kevin Maggs, has confirmed an additional seven signings to bring the squad total to 34

The seven additional players have all featured in an intensive pre-season programme including fixtures against Welsh Premiership sides Aberavon and Bedwas. "
