+ charteris.

Thomas is a huge blow, we've kept with him after to horror injurys and hes looking a good bet to break into the welsh squad.

Buckley is also a blow, lots of potential and has that bit of bite needed in the front row. Possibly a great signing for the blues.

I can't really see us moving on next season. Tovey has been our most important player over the last 2 seasons and brews our main threat.
