Necrophilia is the one that should give you trepidation.

Snap....seemingly an athlete in his youth, and some history with Leinster which will only be in a trainee capacity I would imagine and then with Gloucester.Know nothing about him, but someone is better than no one so good to get someone in in good time before the AIs so they can plan
"Tobin, 40 joins the England men's set-up in October from the Cherry and Whites where he worked as head of performance for the last eight years. Prior to his time at Kingsholm, Tobin spent a decade as a strength and conditioning coach at Leinster Rugby, and several years at the Dublin GAA Senior Football Team."
Oh I was wrong...clearly very experienced.
Yeah it looks like that, so still looking for the S&C Lead.Gather he's seen as a replacement for Tombleson not Walters, so a gap filled but not the more senior role.
Actually, reading the reports, it does look like hes replacing Walters as the lead S&C coach, so they'll be looking for Tomblesons replacement still.Gather he's seen as a replacement for Tombleson not Walters, so a gap filled but not the more senior role.
OK, Times reckoned he was coming in for Tombleson but I guess we'll have to wait and see. The press release didn't mention words like lead or head though, just talking about a S&C coach.Actually, reading the reports, it does look like hes replacing Walters as the lead S&C coach, so they'll be looking for Tomblesons replacement still.
And a defence coach....unless SInfield reverts to that..

Every time I see his weight reported on it goes up by another stone. That article has him at 118kg! There's no way he's anywhere near that weight; seems like people are just making a fun game out of sensationalising his size.Anyone ready for another race to the bottom?
It looks like Gatland is sniffing around Zack Wimbush very unhelpfully: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/warren-gatland-racing-to-recruit-exeters-zack-wimbush-for-wales/
Another one of those situations were a player is pressured into making decisions before they're even ready for test rugby …
Yeah, hate thatAnyone ready for another race to the bottom?

"Players also have to be careful that they do not make a decision that they end up regretting and prevent them from exploring other opportunities," he wrote in the Daily Telegraph. "Once a player is capped, they are tied to that country. But, as we have seen before, some do not feature again for long periods of time."Anyone ready for another race to the bottom?

This is the bigger point for me. With some players it's very obvious that they'll be future test players but Wimbush isn't in that category. He's a promising player who is big and fast but as you say, currently unproven at Premiership level let alone anything else. This is exactly why this kind of crap is really, really unhelpful for young players."Players also have to be careful that they do not make a decision that they end up regretting and prevent them from exploring other opportunities," he wrote in the Daily Telegraph. "Once a player is capped, they are tied to that country. But, as we have seen before, some do not feature again for long periods of time."
Doesnt the above apply to Wales too? He has 2 English parents and 1 Welsh grandparents right? And grew up in England so surely he wants to play for England. I
Is Wimbush even good enough for international rugby? I worry about his defence at 13 and whilst he is a good player he really isn't anywhere near international standard, not even proven at prem standard really and then at least IFW had a season where he was a standout player earning him a shot and interest of coaches.
