'He's an exciting attacking prospect': Domingo Miotti set to become eighth Argentinian to play for Glasgow
Glasgow have become the latest European club to add a former Jaguares player to their roster, signing out-half Domingo Miotti from Western Force for the 2021/22 season. With Adam Hastings leaving for Gloucester, the 24-year-old joins fellow signing Duncan Weir and academy graduate Ross Thompson in becoming options as the Warriors 10.

Miotti, who will link up with his new club subject to visa, will become the eighth Argentinian international to represent Glasgow, following in the footsteps of Francisco Leonelli, Bernardo Stortoni, Jose Piossek, Federico Aramburu, German Araoz, Gabriel Ascarate and current Warrior Enrique Pieretto.
From Tucuman, Miotti made his Super Rugby debut for the Jaguares in 2019, going on to make 16 appearances and score 107 points before switching to the Force for the 2021 Super Rugby AU season. He made his Test debut in the recent 2020 Rugby Championship, coming off the bench in December’s 16-16 draw with Australia.
“I’m very excited to join Glasgow,” said Miotti on the Glasgow Warriors website. “They are a great club and playing in the Guinness PRO14 will be a new experience for me that I’m really looking forward to.
“I’ve watched some of Glasgow’s games and they play a fun attacking style of rugby that I’m excited to be a part of. My focus for this season is to give my all for the Western Force and when the tournament is over, focus on Glasgow Warriors.”
? "Miotti… Oh, that's outstanding!"

Glasgow boss Danny Wilson added: “Domingo is an exciting attacking prospect for us. He is a young Argentinian international with a strong kicking game and good ball-handling skills. He adds further quality to our backline and we are looking forward to welcoming him to Scotstoun in the summer.”
With the soon-to-depart Adam Hastings suspended following a recent red card away to Leinster, Thomson started last weekend’s win away to Zebre with Ian Keatley providing important back-up from the bench.

2 Go to commentsInteresting comments about Touch. England’s hosting the Touch World Cup this year and the numbers have exploded since their last World Cup in 2019, something like 70% more teams and 40 nations taking part. And England Touch have made a big thing about how many universities are in their BUCS University Touch Championship as well as Sport England membership. Can only see this growing even more domestically as more people become aware of it

Hitherto so many pundits have been wittering on about Finlay Christie to the point one wondered if they were observing a FC in a parallel universe where the FC they saw wasnt just the mediocre Shayne Philpott project of Fosters hapless AB reign in the real world. Ratima, Perenara and Fakatava are the ONLY logical 9s for Razor now Roigard is crocked.

5 Go to commentsUnfortunately when you lose by far the two form players this season in Roigard and Aumua, you're left replacing two game changing Tanks with a couple of pea-shooters. Which is also about the speed of TJs pass.
2 Go to commentsBit rich coming from the guy with zero loyalty to anyone or any team, including happily taking a players place in a league world cup squad because well, SBW wanted to play in it and thus an already named player got told he was no longer going. And airing stuff like this, which may or may not be true, doesn't exactly say you're a stand up guy either SBW. Just looking to keep his name in lights as usual.

4 Go to commentsThe Chiefs definitely didn’t win ugly. They had the superior scrum, a dominant lineout, and their defence was excellent once the Waratahs scored their two tries (thanks to some lucky refereeing calls mind you). They put pressure on the Waratahs lineout throughout the game, and the mind boggles as to why the referee did not award a yellow card or a penalty try against the Waratahs for repeated scrum infringements on their own try line before Narawa’s first try. And the Chiefs were slick with their passing and running angles on attack. It was a dominant performance all round, even with many questionable refereeing decisions.

4 Go to commentsBig difference from the Saders. Forwards really muscled up and laid a solid platform. Scooter brought some steel and I liked the loosie combination. Newell has been rather disappointing this season but stepped up big time - happy also to see Franks dot down. He should do that more often! Reihana had a good game and there seems to be more flair and invention with him in the saddle. McNicoll plays well from the back and is reliable plus inventive when he joins the line. Keep it up chaps!

1 Go to commentsAn on field red (aka a full red) in SRP must surely carry a bigger suspension than a red card given by the bunker as that carries a 20 minute team punishment. Had Damon Murphy abdicated his responsibility as a ref and issued both Drua players a yellow, which would have been upgraded to a 20 minute red by the bunker, that would have killed Australia and New Zealand’s push for the 20 minute red to be trialled globally from July this year.
11 Go to commentsEver so often you all post a Danny Care story that isn’t the announcement that he has finally re-signed for one more, victory tour season at Quins and I’m just like, “well you fooled me again!” My absolute favorite player ever, we need to make his final year at the Stoop (and Twickers) official already. I know he supposedly snubbed France but I won’t feel better until he signs.
