Brian Noble has announced he is leaving his post as boss of the troubled Crusaders after just one season, paving the way for Iestyn Harris to take over.

I'm pretty gutted to be honest. However, it was never going to be a permanent fixture, and Iestyn should be a decent coach (he's alright with Wales so far, and has been working with Crusaders/Noble the past season) - hopefully Crusaders won't nosedive next season as a result of this.

Well all is not lost ...

Taxman will ask the court to dismiss the petition as the Crusaders have paid the amount owed to HMRC, which is good news. So the only thing to really worry about is the pension plans that were inherited.

It was going great - until they ended up North where they weren't supposed to go. They might make it to 2011 and they'll finish the season if they do but if their franchise gets renewed I'll be surprised.
