#2. Nemani Nadolo

The Fijian-Australian powerhouse is set to join the Waratahs on a one-year deal next season, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
They've reported that 'The Waratahs are not expected to confirm Nadolo’s signing for some time as the 34-year-old is still on contract with UK Premiership side Leicester and will leave them mid-way through the next European season.'

#3. Ellis Genge

The England international has put pen to paper on a deal to return to his boyhood club ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
A product of Bristol’s Academy, 26-year-old Genge made 28 outings before departing for Leicester Tigers in 2016.
