Also feels like a bit of a step back in rugby terms. We've just had Solomons with his forwards-orientated rugby and no tolerance for players that didn't fit into that ethos, and that didn't seem very popular.

That's if there's any truth in this, of course!
I agree with Rob on this one. I would not see such an appointment as a step forward. More likely, it would see us playing a similar style to that under Alan Solomons under a not dissimilar approach to management. If we want to play a limited, highly structured, forward-oriented game then fair enough. But I think we want to kick on from that and play expansive, winning rugby.
I'd have Andy Robinson back in a trice, if he was willing, but it's not obvious to me why Duncan Hodge should not be the permanent head coach.
