Pity he didn't transfer a few weeks back, before our game down there.

From the sounds of it he's unhappy at not being good enough to get infront of Rory Lawson in the pecking order.

Surprised! I believe this will damage his England chances - he does to tend to move when things get tough for him.
Also I did not realsie that he is 29. It makes Harry's standing in the England set up very important given that he is only 24.

I thin moving to Irish will suit his game plan as he is a guy who likes to get on with the game.

Perhaps trivia fans might know this.

Does this latest move make him the player to have represented the most Premiership clubs?

Who else would challenge him?

It was always on the cards that he was going to Irish, but then i can understand his logic - he's apparently getting a lot more money at Irish and its closer to his home in London. Bit disappointed but he always has been one of those players that never stays at a club for too long.

Never really thought he was a SH though, would have preffered him to play at centre. Cooper will be a dependable replacement i think.

Wish Richards all the best and i'm sure he'll give everything to the club for his last few matches

Treviso.

There was an interview with him in the local paper where he implied that he was moving to improve his England chances.
The England selectors dont like Gloucester and won't pick them.

What he played for Treviso

not that there is anything wrong with that
