London Wasps have announced the short term signings of two players with a view to providing cover for players on international duty.
Stuart Commins and Charlie Hayter
Commins brings with him Aviva Premiership experience from Northampton, having previously made 17 appearances for the Saints, and he was also part of the Oxford side who won the Varsity game at Twickenham earlier this season.
He joins as Joe Simpson departs for two weeks with the England Saxons, and will come into the mix for selection this weekend for the LV=Cup game against Leicester at Welford Road.
Promising centre Charlie Hayter joins the Club from RFU Championship side Moseley, where he has been an ever-present this season and was a standout performer for the RFU Championship XV against the New Zealand Maori. He has previously represented Worcester.
Charlie was our school captain, the year above me and took the school to win the U18 Daily Mail Cup in 2007/2008. I remember him as a strong but quick centre who looked to distribute. Mad though, I knew he was playing for Nottingham in the Championship but hadn't heard much about how he was doing.
I know less about commins, but I do know we were dangerously short in the scrum half department without him!
