"Disaster" - The five worst rugby signings of 2021 is a competitive list

The Scotland international centre arrived in London this summer looking to re-energise his career, but thus far it has been a struggle with the speedster scoring zero tries in his eight appearances. His most recent appearance against Cardiff was particularly tough viewing for the Quins faithful.

His time in the North East has been turbulent, to say the least, but his latest display against London Irish was beyond awful. It would be fair to say that Newcastle Falcons look like a weaker team whenever he's picked in the starting line-up. It's a signing that so far hasn't paid off for Dean Richards.

Fans were buzzing with the signing of the England U20 flier, especially after his man of the match debut in which he scored a brace of tries against Bristol Bears. Nevertheless, it's been poor in the six games since after with Crossdale failing to the cross the whitewash again.

He has struggled to rediscover his best form in the black, blue and white shirt since joining in the summer. Although you could point to a number of injuries as the reason for his slow start, he has undoubtely proved to be a flop thus far. Like everybody, we hope he can help Bath climb the table soon!

Could it be anyone else? Ashton, the former England wing,left Worcester Warriors with immediate effect last Monday. The 34-year-old last played for Worcester in the Premiership back in March and has struggled with knee and calf issues this season, while he received a six-game suspension last season following a red card against Northampton. Worcester also said that "the daily commute from his home in Northampton had also proved challenging".
