Gloucester
Two more new faces at Kingsholm

The all-change theme for Gloucester continues as new coach Nigel Davies adds two more faces to the Kingsholm staff - a goal-kicking full-back and a scrum coach who is coming home.
The new full-back is Rob Cook, who has joined after three seasons with Corish Pirates for whom he scored 249, 413 and 367 points over the last three campaigns.
And Davies now thinks that at 28, he is ready for the step up from Championship to Premiership rugby.
But the new man is not just a boot ... he scores tries, too, as his tally of 26 in those three seasons proves.
Davies told the club website: "Rob is a perfect addition to the squad. He's been a stand-outr performer at Championship level and brings something different to the table in that he's a qualioty goal-kicker as well."
The scrum coach is Tony Windo, a Glouceste lad who played over 400 games for his home-town club and Worcester, where he later became a coach.
But his new job is only part-time, a couple of mornings a week, as he continues his job as rugby coach at Bromsgrove School. He said he would only have considered doing the job for Glaws, and sought approval from the widow of good friend and predecessor John Brain before accepting the post.
