New Scrum Half

The Saints have signed a scrum half, mainly because Alan Dickens is leaving to concentrate on coaching. Luckily for Lee Dickson, Ryan Powell is coming to the rescue. We were worried about Lee because he has had to play a lot this year and he needed some back-up. Next year was going to be even tougher.

Ryan Powell is a former Welsh international, and he has also played for the Cardiff Blues. Grandma and Grandpa support the Blues and they say he is a very good player. He is now coming to us from the Worcester Warriors who have just been relegated.

Hopefully Lee will still be our number one choice for scrum half, but we will have to see just how good Ryan Powell is. We like Lee and think he is excellent. I have noticed that he doesn't look when we have a kick at the posts, if you watch him you can see him walking away as far as he can.
