Sarries sign up Bax

[TRF_Cymro]

Saracens have signed South African utility back Tiger Bax on a short-term deal until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old has previously represented Western Province and the Stormers and has recently been turning out for UCT in the Varsity Cup.

"It's a fantastic opportunity for me. Everybody in SA rugby is aware of what's happening at Saracens, and I am determined to take this opportunity," he said.

Bax will make his bow in English rugby in Saracens Storm's friendly meeting with Northampton on Monday night, starting at outside-centre.

Also in action will be former Springbok prop Deon Carstens, who is continuing his recovery from shoulder surgery.

"Everybody in SA rugby is aware of what's happening at Saracens"

They didn't go the whole hog with the quote but still:

Will he f*** the physio and then knock the Vicarage Road posts over in his 4x4?

'WP and Stormers player Tiger Bax'

LOL he had like 1 game for each at fullback and made a shutload of mistakes. Why would Saracens need him? It's not like he's one of the more stand-out players at varsity level.

Maybe they see 'something special' in him that others don't.

TBF Sarries do have a nack of getting something out of **** players: Wyles springs immediately to mind.


That said, we're yet to see any results out of Strettle.
