Coventry are the beneficiaries following Ford-Robinson's tighthead shake-up at Gloucester

Ambitious Championship outfit Coventry have moved quickly to snap up Gareth Denman, the Premiership-winning prop no longer wanted by Gloucester following their recent signing of the versatile Jamal Ford-Robinson from Northampton.

The 28-year-old tighthead has played 22 times in two years at the Cherry & Whites but has struggled with injuries this season, limiting him to just three first-team appearances as a replacement. He has also been playing on loan Hartpury, helping in their battle against relegation in the Championship.

The Rotherham-born forward came to Kingsholm in 2017 from Northampton. During his four-year stint at Franklin’s Gardens, he was involved in Saints’ Premiership and European Challenge Cup double-winning season in 2013/14 and then appeared for England against the Barbarians 12 months later.

His early career was spent in Yorkshire, initially with Carnegie, where he emerged from the academy to make his Premiership debut in 2010/11, and then at Rotherham. In total Denman has almost 150 senior appearances to his name.

The experienced prop joins fellow front row Gerard Ellis, centre Will Owen, back rowers Shane Nayalo and Ryan Burrows plus out-half Rory Jennings on the list of new recruits Coventry have to date confirmed for next season. 

Lock James Voss, who is currently dual-registered with Leicester, will also be a full-time member of the Blue-and-White squad from June.

Director of rugby Rowland Winter said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Gareth to Coventry, he will add further quality and experience to the pack as we look to make further improvement. At 28 he is approaching his prime as prop and will add serious competition to the tight head shirt for next season.”

Denman said: “I’m really looking forward to joining Coventry; I was impressed with the ambition and plans that the club have and I can’t wait to play my part and get started in the summer.”

HOW TO RETRIEVE STOEN BITCOIN DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION


I never imagined that I would be one of those individuals who would lose access to their Bitcoin wallet, but there I was looking at my computer screen in utter horror. I was a freelance graphic designer and had invested $250,000 in Bitcoin throughout the years, hoping that it would be the gateway to my financial future. I was proud of myself for being careful with my investments and online security. But one day after I updated my laptop, I realized I could not access my wallet. My password was gone, and in case that was not enough, my recovery phrase was nowhere to be found as well. My heart sank. I felt like my world was collapsing.

The thought of losing all my savings was simply unacceptable. I tried everything—backtracking, searching through old notes, and scavenging through my emails—but all in vain.

Desperation kicked in, and I started looking online for any kind of solution. That's when I came across DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION on Reddit. I was hesitant at first—how was it possible for anyone to recover something as secure as a Bitcoin wallet? Was this some internet scam? But after reading hundreds of positive reviews from individuals who were in the same predicament, I thought I would try.

Their staff was extremely professional and reassuring right from the time I called them. They heard me out patiently and explained the process of recovery step by step, in detail. They did not make any false promises but told me that they would do their best to recover my wallet. Their honesty and transparency filled me with hope.

The procedure was seamless and well-coordinated. The team was in touch constantly and kept me updated, which eased my worry. In a week's time, I got the message I had been fervently wishing for—they had retrieved my wallet successfully. All the Bitcoins were intact. I was filled with relief and thankfulness.

DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION were not just highly professional but also very humane and sympathetic. They understood the psychological toll such a disaster can take and handled my case with utmost sensitivity and professionalism. They saved my financial future, and I owe them eternal gratitude.

If you are ever unfortunate enough to lose access to your Bitcoin wallet, I would highly recommend DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION They turned what seemed like an impossible mission into a success story. I am eternally thankful for their services and the peace of mind they restored to my life.

Stat chat: Clear favourite emerges as Sam Cane's All Blacks successor

Agree for Savea to be successful at 7 he will have to remodel his game, again. But he has shown the ability to do that with his move from 7 to 8. Savea will have to focus more on the roles of a 7 e.g. tacking and cleaning out. The benefit will be that Savea can take advantage of running opportunities, in a similar way that Michael Jones used to. How Savea is used e.g. as a primary runner, or as a support runner will come down to the attack coach. But having a 7 who is a genuine running option will provide the All Blacks with another option. That option could be unutilized as a support runner. If put into the gap Savea will be very hard to stop.

 

With Sititi at 8 (the best position to make use of his skills) the key will be who is chosen at 6, ideally someone with bulk and a hard work ethic. S Barrett could fulfil that role. I would choose Finau as he has proven ability to effect very heavy tackles. But it’s an open race at the moment.

 

Agree, taking in account multiple factors in analysis makes the analysis a lot more difficult. There are so many more potential outcomes to take into account. Getting this done in time to meet publishing deadlines would be difficult. I guess it’s up to the readers to speculate on things like that.

 

Papali’I is definitely in the conversation. He is a proven high volume tackler, at times he has shown a very useful running game. Also, at 1.93m/113kg he has the size to cover at 6 and to be used as a jumper in the lineout. With the Blues in a slump, how he performs in the next few games could be a good indicator, if he steps up he could regain a black jersey.

 

Sotutu could be used at 6 or eight. If the trio contained Sotutu I’d put him at 6 as Sititi seems to be a more slightly more elusive runner that is slightly better at setting up others. Sotutu could fit into the trio at 6. A key work on for Sotutu is to lower his tackle height.
