Paolo Odogwu, recently recruited by Italy, has confirmed that he will be joining Benetton as his new club following the completion of his short-term contract with Stade Francais.

Wasps may well have their international players available to them against Sale Sharks this weekend, with Paolo Odogwu set to feature in his first match for 11 weeks following a frustrating Six Nations campaign.

England head coach Eddie Jones says his players must keep the outside noise and the "rat poison" away from their minds ahead of Saturday's clash with Ireland.

The likes of Paolo Odogwu arguably have the spark and excitement which England are searching for, but the next chapter in his development is still waiting to be written.
