Bristol's director of rugby Andy Robinson has chosen Sean Holley to be his new head coach, according to the Rugby Paper.

The Newcastle Falcons have completed the signing of Fijian versatile back Waisea Luveniyali. The Newcastle Journal claims that Luveniyali's arrival could mean that Jeremy Manning is off to pastures new.

Keith Senior is set to make a cross-code switch and play for Leeds Carnegie next season, according to The Sun. The veteran rugby league legend has hinted at the possible switch in the past and would give the Championship side a physical presence.
