Bath have made the great decision to sign Argentinian International prop, Lucas Noguera. The 24 year old already has 43 caps for Argentina and has recently played against England and Ireland in the autumn.
Todd Blackadder has said that "He's a very talented young prop who has already gained a huge amount of experience on the international stage." (BBC Sport)
Nick Auterac is thought to be wanted by Harlequins next season, and speaking of Harlequins... they put on a great performance at the Stoop against Saracens winning 20-19. Danny Care put on another exceptional performance setting up all of Harlequins tries. Quins always seem to get up for the Saracens home games. Saracens have now lost 5 games on the bounce which hasn't happened for the past decade. Could this signify an issue for Saracens? I don't think so. Any other team might feel like it is the end of the world but Sarries have such a strong squad with class players in it that I expect them to beat Clermont this weekend.

This signing seems to suggest that Nick Auterac will not be playing for the club next year. Nathan Catt and Beno Obano would then be the other looseheads in the squad. Lucas Noguera also has a bit of experience playing on the other side of the scrum and has even played as cover for hooker. With Bath's injuries in the front row a signing like this is a great move for the club.✍️ | @bathrugby is delighted to announce the signing of Argentinian international prop @lucasnoguerapaz.

Back to Bath. They now face Toulon two times in two weeks. This will be a big challenge for Bath, especially if they don't pick up their performance from when they lost to Exeter. Bath vs Toulon is always a thriller and is always a great atmosphere. Bath must win their home game with a bonus point if they are to do well in Europe this year. This weekend away from home they need to realistically try and get a bonus point and then ensure the win next week.Hell of a game from both teams. Boys put in a massive shift. Stoop was bouncing! #COYQ pic.twitter.com/T22WuYkqPx— Danny Care (@dannycare) December 3, 2017
