ROB HOWLEY BANNED FOR 18 MONTHS
It could be a dream team for Tigers Phil and Rob - defence and attack coaches - lots of 54-54 draws.

So good you posted it twice
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Backdated, so can coach again from June 2020.

I wonder if he placed a few quid on the outcome......
Seriously its sounds there was a trigger & he didn't exactly try subterfuge.

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Let’s face it smacks of someone with a gambling problem rather than any sinister match fixing.
Rather sad to taint a top level playing and coaching career.

He's apparently had quite a problem for quite a while.
Feel for him - hope he gets the help he needs and gets through it.

Good article by Owen Slot in The Times.
For future employment the gambling issue may be a problem - can he be trusted?
Howley has wide coaching experience, but never as a head coach, but he was apparently in the frame for the Italy Coach job, starting after the 6N. Will this still be a possibility? Slot believes it is his best opportunity for a job in rugby, that Howley is too much of a risk for the Premiership, etc.
Under pressure he turned to gambling, didn’t try to conceal it, was open when discovered, is well liked by players.
I hope he can come to terms with his problem, and can continue to contribute to rugby.
