Wednesday Round-Up

"An injury is never great and the timing of this one wasn't helpful in terms of timing, but I've got back in time [for the Rugby World Cup]. "I always stayed positive throughout this whole phase and I've had good medics both here and at Gloucester. It's thanks to them that I'm back in this position.

 "It's an honour to wear the England shirt and to have that opportunity again is something I want to hold onto for as long as I possibly can. To get another chance is brilliant, especially in such an important year like this.”

Chiefs re-sign Horrell:  The Chiefs look to have re-signed crucial back Andrew Horrell for the 2016 Super Rugby season. Horrell featured at fly-half and centre frequently for the side this year after the injury to Aaron Cruden. Horrell had previously been linked with a move to France as a World Cup joker and Chiefs head coach Dave Rennie is pleased to have a player of his kind in the ranks. "In a world of massive midfielders, Hozza is a point of difference,” Rennie told Stuff."With an intelligent footy brain and quality skill set, his ability to create opportunities for others is first class. Hozza's experience and versatility make him a huge asset to this club.”
