Division winners are automatically promoted....no play offs

Thanks TB

Worcester seem to be losing alot of their players( especially backs ) this year so I wonder what their recruitment is like for next season. Arr, Teo, Adams and Heem all leaving; the latter 2 will be a loss as they seem to have been the core of their attacking pressure irrespective of how many tries they have scored themselves.

Houghard off too

[RagingBull]

Is he off?
I know the rumour about Toulon if Worcester go down, but that was on relegation.

[Scott1]

Yes I think you're right RB

How come Exeter got promoted, as they were runners up to Bristol. and won the home and away play offs?

The rules must have changed since then.

Gatland getting the Lions SA gig and AWJ renewing his Ospreys contract so he can be involved!

Nah that’s fine RG Synman and Sinckler will both tear him to shreds it’s fine .

[RagingBull]

AWJ great player but wouldn't touch him.
Seems one of those amazing internationals but body might not stand up to playing a whole season of Club rugby. The guy seems like a walking Mummy already with all the bandages etc that he uses during a game. A true great workhorse but at 33 how long can he keep playing like he does outside the 12 or so International games.

Ahh, right. Thanks Tigerbeat.

Wasps have now officially offered Edwards a 2 year deal

[strawclearer]

"Wasps have revealed that Wales defence coach, Shaun Edwards, will not be making a return to the club he helped take to significant honours when his contract with the national team runs out after the Rugby World Cup.

Edwards, who spent 10 years at the club before leaving in 2011 to assist Gatland with Wales, has been linked with positions at his former rugby league club, Wigan Warriors, as well as latterly with Wasps. Director of rugby, Dai Young, confirmed on Monday, however, that an offer made to Edwards had been rejected and that the 52 year old was ‘likely’ to stay in international rugby." Torygraph
