Second year running we've beaten Gloucester in the final yet are massively down on their England representation at under 18 though. Strange, no?

Jamie Taylor (Academy head Coach) will leave some big shoes to fill for whoever replaces him next season.

It's a blow if we've lost him. Where's he going?

Odd time to take a job like that. Those roles are normally circular in four year blocks. To have something like that come up with a year to go suggests either something isn't well in which we association he's joining or someone's been poached by another country.

The academy has been going from strength to strength recently. Real shame to lose him.

No need to overthink things really.

It's a pathway job, so it has nothing to do with the cycles.

Could be large development squad intake this year. That or there's going to be some very difficult decisions to make.
