"The Board will also conduct a review of the coaching structure to determine an appropriate way forward." This suggests nothing hasty is going to occur and that therefore it will be an appointment towards the end of the season (by which time M Ford will have been fired by Toulon and be av...

I think Veainu's injury was whilst playing for Tonga not Tigers and hence the estimated 12 weeks will push him into late February.

Yes, it was O'Brien he hit, presumably they managed to find footage to demonstrate impact.

David Flatman's comments were interesting "what could Thompstone do, stand there stationary and get North's knee in his face?"

Exchange rate?

Quite....damn Brexit!

If I were a Gloucester fan I'd be upset and quite perturbed for the future.
