Gloucester boss in 'honest talks' with Morgan and Lake

GLOUCESTER'S director of rugby George Skivington admits he has held “very honest” talks with his new signings as the Gallagher PREM club’s torrid run of form continued.
Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake will be joining Gloucester next season
Defeat away to Newcastle Red Bulls on Friday means that the Cherry and Whites have now lost eight of their nine league matches so far this season, having missed out on the playoffs by just two points at the end of the last campaign, with an under-fire Skivington admitting the current run of results “hurts a lot”.
His side's form has not been helped by a raft of injuries, with several senior players - including Wales centre Max Llewellyn - currently sidelined. Welsh scrumhalf and last year's PREM player of the season Tomos Williams, who will leave for Saracens at the end of the season, was also a late withdrawal from the side to face Newcastle.
