Perhaps the rumours of a Gloucester exodus are not quite all they seem

[ALJ]

Gloucester got a much needed boost out of the never ending rumour mill about just who is leaving Gloucester today when it was announced today that Ben Morgan has signed a new contract (from what I'd heard he was supposedly destined for Leicester).

The recent signing of Carl Fearns suggests that at least one first choice back row is leaving (Moriarty seems like the obvious choice) but hopefully Kvesic will stay.

The other new contracts (Purdy, Burns & Heinz) are not exactly earth shattering but they're positive steps and I must admit, I'm a little more optimistic that we won't lose quite as many as we thought.
