First topic message reminder :

Accroding to the BBC website Gloucester have made signed Billy Twelvetrees for next season.

Spoiler:

With this signing Gloucesters backline for next season is looking really strong. IMO it will be:
10: Burns
11:J-S-D
12: Twelvetrees
13: Trinder
14: Sharples
15: May

To me this looks like a great backline with pace and power with a fly half who this season is pciking all the right options. I think this could even be the future England backline.

Now what does everyone else think?

Even if Allen was playing better (and I've always been underwhelmed) it was obvious that Twelvetrees had something about him and to not give him the odd start through the spring was astonishing I thought.

Billy's gone to a side which a vastly superior backline, where he's mates with his OC partner, which feels like it is on the up, which pays better and which will give him a chance to focus on his best position rather than having to wait for Anthony Allen to not be available. Total no-brainer I reckon.

You're probably right. I was just saying all the 'guaranteed starter at 12' stuff was stupid.

Yes, and even if Gloucester did actually say that (which I doubt) it isn't in their or Twelvetrees' best interests to guarentee him the 12 shirt.
