Wasps announce England lock Tom Palmer is to rejoin Aviva Premiership strugglers Wasps are currently 11th in the Premiership, nine points above bottom club Newcastle, although they have reached this season's Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals and will host Biarritz in early April. Palmer said: "I am delighted to be returning to London Wasps. I have many happy memories of three successful seasons at Adams Park, and I am very excited by the prospect of my return. Wasps rugby director David Young added: "This is a fantastic signing for us, and I'm delighted that Tom will be here next season. Bringing the kind of quality in that Tom and James (Haskell) will deliver, demonstrates our desire to have a highly-competitive squad next season that will see us I hope push forward very positively. Tom is one of the best second-rows in world rugby, and it's a real advantage that he comes to the club with a thorough knowledge of what Wasps is all about.
