London Wasps have signed Sale lock Kearnan Myall and extended the contract of another lock in Marco Wentzel.
The re-signing of Wentzel and the capture of Myall ensure that London Wasps will be choosing from an exceptionally strong pool of second row talent for next season, with options also including England stars Joe Launchbury and Tom Palmer alongside James Cannon, who has been one of the most improved players at the Club over the past year.
Wentzel, who is capped for South Africa, and Myall, who has represented England Saxons, are two of the shrewdest lineout operators in England. The duo are currently the top two lineout ball winners in the Aviva Premiership according to Opta, the official statistics provider for Premiership Rugby.
"Marco has been a huge performer for us over the past two seasons and continues to be a real leader for us at the lineout and it's great to have him on board next season again," said Wasps director of rugby Dai Young.
"Kearnan is someone who has been an ever-present for Sale and someone who has really impressed us. I believe he is a player who has the potential to go further in his career and earn greater international recognition.
"Second row is a real physical position and there's a long season there, so making sure we had a very strong mix in this area was important to us and we've got that now."
