Kiwi pairing at Bath:

Bath have approached Todd Blackadder and Tabai Matson about a new look coaching staff at The Rec.

They would be replacing departing duo Mike Ford and Neal Hatley.

Both New Zealanders are in the current Crusaders set-up, and wouldn't be available to join Bath until after August 6, with the SR semi-finals taking place on July 30.

Junior Bok skipper:

Jeremy Ward will reportedly leave the EP Kings to join the Sharks next season.

He captained the U20s South Africa side to 4th in the World Rugby U20s Championship and his efforts didn't go unnoticed.

Learning the ropes at Fylde:

As the new season closes in it's high time league converts learned the ins and outs of rugby union.

Turns out one such player, Josh Charnley, signed to Sale Sharks is at Nat1 club Fylde to pick up some pointers before his time in the Aviva Premiership.
