"Super" Mario Ledesma, former Argentina hooker (84 caps) who played for Castres and Clermont, has retired from his post as manager of the national XV.
Current Stade Français head coach, Gonzalo Quesada, appears to be the favourite to replace him, but the names of Felipo Contepomi and Mauricio Reggiardo are also in the frame.

Bath and ex-England winger, Rokodoguni could be heading for ProD2 club Montauban next season. They're currently 7th and are most unlikely to be promotion contenders.
He has a brother who plays for nearby Colomiers who are also in ProD2(6th)

Always such a shame when injury plays a part in careers ending early. Wilson was a fantastic player and brilliant servant to Falcons. I was desperate for Tigers to sign him at several points when our back row options were in desperate need of improvement.fentiger wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 3:39 pm Mark Wilson, immediate retirement: https://www.newcastlefalcons.co.uk/news ... from-rugby

He came off the bench once after the knee surgery but looked a long way from fully fit, sadly.Scott1 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 3:46 pmSolid player! I’m sure he just came back very briefly.

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2020-21
Real shame, it was great to see him return against Gloucester recently after so long out. A severely underrated player IMO, I would have loved to have seen him at Tigers. When he broke into a very talented England squad I genuinely thought he offered something extra.fentiger wrote: ↑Mon Feb 14, 2022 3:39 pm Mark Wilson, immediate retirement: https://www.newcastlefalcons.co.uk/news ... from-rugby
Possibly a victim of his own insanely high levels of commitment, but I think there are a lot of talented young back row players in England at the moment who could learn a lot from the way Wilson played the game and his attitude.

Alex Groves signs for Sale:

After the U20s last year I was hoping to see more of him for Bristol, but apparently not. Might be the reason why he left.

Cheering on the Tigers in Detroit.
Previously a slower, shorter, less good looking version of Tom Croft.

Quins coaches Adam Jones, Nick Evans and Jerry Flannery have all signed new deals to remain with Quins
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2020-21
Personally think this is a great idea - continuity with some high quality coaches, onus on them to "keep it fresh". Would happily see SB, Sir Kev et al be tied down similarly (were they not so obviously the front-runners for the next England set-up!).
