Saracens confirm signing of Harry Wilson
By Ian Cameron
Saracens have confirmed the signing of Harry Wilson from Doncaster - a move first report by RugbyPass at the start of the month.
The versatile forward who can play in the second-row and across the back-row is joining North London's Saracens. The 27-year-old was named in the Championship Dream Team after playing every minute for Doncaster last season and scoring four tries.
He has extensive Championship experience with Hartpury London Scottish Ampthill and the Knights and also captained Hartpury to the BUCS Super Rugby title. Internationally he represented England at the Under-18 level. Wilson is delighted to be moving to Saracens where he will add valuable depth to the back five of the scrum.
“I’m extremely excited and grateful to join such a prestigious club like Saracens. I am looking forward to getting started and meeting everyone involved with the club," said Wilson.
Director of Rugby Mark McCall is excited to welcome Wilson to StoneX Stadium. “Harry is a player in his prime who we believe can have a strong impact at our club. We are impressed by his desire to learn and improve, and he has all of the attributes to be a success at Saracens.”

When posting I assume that I don't need to delve into all the minutuae of the rankings system and that the principle is well understood in general that you get points for beating teams and you lose points for losing against teams.
Well done you have correctly identified a trivial detail which is you don't get points for trashing relative minnows. Slow hand clap. As far as the contests under discussion here involving the top 3 teams in the world are concerned then as in the vast majority of internationals, ranking points are at play.
THe fact that 3 points are added to a teams ranking if playing at home is significant: that's why Ireland gained a lot in Durban and SA lost a lot (and not just blood).
But agaion congrats and forcefully driving home that indeed if you play a relative minnow no points are on offer. Also, check your bathroom mirror out, the muppet show is on.
