The churn continues. Eddie Jones cannot be a nice guy to work for.

Mitchell’s list of previous employers is a lengthy one. Not sure you can draw anything from this particular departure. Mitchell was always going to move on.

That's a pity I really rated him, I guess though he was a bit like Cips.

Sorry to be a bit vague but I always saw Mallinder as a big free running player who like to play his own game and not play to a team plan and that's how I saw Cips. Bit of a maverick, but Its only my image and opinion and I'm sure others will possibly disagree?

Is he any good, I happen to know a club that could do with an attack coach?
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Eddie has always liked to use different coaches to keep things fresh. Even when he had a full staff he used to have guest coaches come in for short periods.

Potentially this is the one we missed out on...anyone ex Scarlets tends to have a positive view on how to play the game, it's part of their DNA.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Just thinking that when Steve Borthwick joined Tigers we had to wait about 6 months for his release from the England contract. Here we have another England Coach John Mitchell, appearing to join Wasps straight away. Why??? Has a release bunce been waved I wonder..
