Jack Singleton won't be returning to Saracens at the end of his Gloucester loan

Gloucester have confirmed that England hooker Jack Singleton – on-loan since last summer from Saracens – has penned a permanent deal to remain at Kingsholm.

The 24-year-old initially joined the club for the 2020/21 campaign, but he also played a key part in the restarted 2019/20 campaign under George Skivington, scoring on his debut against Worcester Warriors in August.

Gloucester chief commercial officer Alex Brown said: “Jack is a player with significant Premiership, European and international experience under his belt, and he has already been a key player for us.

“He has significantly progressed his rugby over the last few years and is continuing to develop his game here at Kingsholm. We’re delighted that he has agreed to sign a permanent deal here.”

Singleton, who moved from Worcester to Saracens in summer 2019, added: “I’m really happy to commit my future to Gloucester. I’ve enjoyed my time here and I’m looking forward to the future with this club.”

"Something has gone badly wrong for Danny Cipriani to go from eulogising over George Skivington’s appointment to leaving Gloucester in such a short space of time"

Saracens agreed to loan out Singleton in the knowledge that they would not be playing in the 2020/21 Premiership following their automatic relegation last January for repeated salary cap breaches.

Singleton’s decision regarding season 2021/22 is the latest development in a busy week at Gloucester where the end-of-season signing of Adam Hastings and the immediate exit of Danny Cipriani dominated headlines.

The Steve Borthwick reaction to a cruel England defeat

Ford completely took the energy out the game for us, waving his hands telling people to calm down. Just for us to die off and lose the momentum.

Bringing him on all the time to ‘close out’ games is condescending to Smith. Get Ford out and let Marcus Smith & Fin Smith run the show. The future is them so give them the keys and let them get on with it.

George Ford twice misses shot at glory as All Blacks edge England

Taking Marcus Smith off was a big puzzle and probably cost England the game. However, Abs created more opportunities and scored some tries but left a lot out there through sloppy execution, not playing to the ref and no enforcement of English off-side play. The fact the game was close all through made it worth watching but it was a frustrating pectacle. English succeeded in slowing the game down and were in the refs ear which Gardner allowed. I think Ireland or France will punish the sloppy execution more than England so still much for ABs to work on.

I agree! ARs and Gardner ignored off-sides by England on multiple occasions. That said, the ABs did not adjust to the ref. Unfortunately, the spectacle became messy as a result.

'Furious': X erupts as England fans drown out haka with controversial rugby anthem

I couldn't give a monkeys about the Haka. I actually suspect the triangular formation was specifically designed to give the photographers for Brand All Blacks better shots. Amirite?

Would a rugby lover drag NZs historical record against 'home nations' into every second post and and label them as pathetic?

I'll leave you to your passive aggressive nonsense.

I cannot believe the ARs didn't call England offside once. Every single time Ratima went to touch the ball, they shot out of the line before he had even touched it. Ridiculous.

Tackling off the ball is illegal, fine. But you can't run a support line where you run into our players and take them out either.

England reveal haka response planned weeks before Joe Marler remarks

I loved it. Both teams advancing. The ENG fans would've loved the theatre too if they weren't so busy drowning it out. The English commentary team on TNT Sports were pumped calling the occasion "sporting rocket fuel". Brilliant.

All Blacks player ratings vs England | Autumn Nations Series

The main problem with the ABs is the captaincy - Barrett is mia and has no influence with refs.

Speaking of refs - Gardner is a disgrace and the only positive thing I have to say about him is - he wont be reffing the Wallabies. Egotistical, inconsistent and myopic - simply woeful.

Yes but the sovereign of NZ is an English King not Maori. The dominant and ruling culture is not Maori. England also has a long history of Christianity so perhaps the Christian hymn would fit better in that country than the Pagan Haka in NZ(also a Christian country)?

England has historical links to their old colonies and in fairness 'Swing Low' its a better choice than a supremacist song.

Kiwis are indulged a lot getting the Haka played at every match in the order they insist on. In short.... lets all accept each others rugby cultures without the self righteousness and over policing?

We all like to have a go at England. But the rugby world is smaller now. Maybe more respect is the order of the times?

Can't see it v IRE or FRA but he'll get the ITA game no doubt. I notice he got run around twice v Japan, left floundering, backtracking. DMac saved his bacon one time. He'll be our 13 next year hopefully. I'm not sure about 12??

Everyone is saying the same thing after agonising England loss

The first half penalties against NZ were for speculative tackling because England were attacking so flat. If NZ didn't do this then it may have been tries and not penalties conceded earlier. I believe Felix Jones is still helping with the transition online. It was quite clear he wasn't helping in person with Earls in particular shooting up and leaving huge holes. NZ had a few that nearly stuck but the two tries by Telea were defensive errors. Furbank biting on Sititi leaving Genge to mark albeit great offload. Genge wont show Telea the outside again. Poor tacking on Telea for the second. That said he is a hard man to grab hold of.

Isolating Genge was clever for Jordans try. NZ spotted he was turning up in the line too often and they could leave a gap with that switch play. 6 day turnaround for Ireland now.

I imagine NZ will be better, but they will need to be a lot better.

Late blitz sees All Blacks XV secure testy win over Munster

Been a long time since they’ve lost to them, between Munster and Leinster in the last 8 or so years there’s been the Māoris, SA A, Uruguay and Chile that I remember off the top of my head.

They had a good game and nearly came back but lost to a few late scores, yeah that’s pretty heartbreaking for a team that lost to Zebre a few months ago that they nearly bounced back here.

There’s always an option about the Haka. Let people disrespect it and do what they want. I would love to see a Campese episode where players completely disregard it without having femi-Nazi giving moral values…

We're well aware that the Irish are all good with dishing it out themselves but a bit flimsy when it comes to being on the karmic receiving end.

The Steve Borthwick reaction to a cruel England defeat

Just a few thoughts. England stopped playing with 20 minutes on the clock, holding only an 8-point advantage. Ford kept telling everyone to calm down and just kicked all the possession away. Why didn’t Slade take the final kick, being left-footed? England went back to their usual style: a lot of box kicks and very little in attack. New Zealand deserved to win.
