Would you rather be coaching rubbish Bristol or the National team.
Goodbye Bristol and shut up.
Serve YOUR COUNTRY FIRST.

Well that is one point of view I suppose.....

Premiership side Northampton have taken issue over the RFU's approach for backs coach Alex King, with Saints boss Jim Mallinder saying the club have been "kept in the dark".

And now we know the real reason that Northampton were kept in the dark. And it's not because the RFU were supposed to ask permission - nor that King didn't inform the club; but that there was no approach in the first place.

Always good to get your knickers all twisted up in the press without bothering to establish fact from fiction.

Strange, it took both sides nearly three weeks to put the record straight ?
The whole RFU, Borthwick, Bristol saga is last years news now, not worth wasting time and effort on.
