Wow, was not expecting that, does this put a different light on the coaching shake up the last few weeks?
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Strange timing, pretty much everyone had just turned positive, perhaps he could have sucked some of that up for a bit, especially after the hellish time he’s had in recent times.

So according to some on here he has finally got all the ducks in a row and the departs with immediate effect, whereas you’d expect 3 months notice in that position.

Very surprised, I think another interview with the chairman was in the works? Well at least they have something to talk about.

Agree congratulations to Andrea, everyone seems to speak very highly of her.

One of the posters on here, it may be Strawclearer, apologies if it isn’t, does sometimes hint he has inside information, it would be interesting to get their take
