TOBY BOOTH TO TAKE TOP JOB AT OSPREYS
Tuesday, 25th February 2020 @ 12:00
HARLEQUINS CAN CONFIRM THAT TOBY BOOTH WILL LEAVE THE CLUB AT
THE END OF THE 2019/20 SEASON TO BECOME HEAD COACH AT OSPREYS.
Booth joined Quins in November 2019 on a fixed-term contract as
an Assistant Coach to support Paul Gustard and the coaching
group for the remainder of the 2019/20 season.
He will remain at Harlequins until the end of the current
campaign before joining Ospreys in the summer.
Commenting on his time at Harlequins, and upon taking up the
role at Ospreys, Booth said: “This was a really tough decision
to make, made harder by the thought of having to leave such a
great group of people and a brilliant rugby programme.
“But when the opportunity came up to become a head coach again,
it was one I had to take. I am grateful to Harlequins for the
support and faith instilled in me and we are all committed to
working hard for the remainder of the season. The team has faced
challenges this season, notably the significant amount of
injuries, but the measure of the health of a club is how they
stick together and stay united in the face of adversity.
“Harlequins is a great club full of good people, a positive and
strong culture and success will come.”
Harlequins’ General Manager of Rugby, Billy Millard added:
“Whilst we are sad to see him leave, we are naturally delighted
for Toby to have the opportunity to be Head Coach at the
Ospreys. When we appointed Toby, he was transparent from the
outset, stating that if the right head coach role became
available, he would want to explore it.
“Toby had an immediate impact, has built strong relationships
with all in our building and I have no doubt it will be business
as usual for the rest of the season.
“Gussy and I will make sure his replacement for next season is
the right person and coach for our players, staff and Club -
that process has now begun.”
---------------------------------------------------------
Not surprising, to be honest. A shame, but when a role as Head
Coach becomes available, I don't blame him one bit for wanting
to take it.

By chance, I happened across this site recently:-
HTML https://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/catholic/5-patron-saints-for-healing.aspx
Full disclosure - I'm neither catholic nor particularly
religious (more of a pagan), but the following Saints might be
worth while contracting, if only on a part time basis:-
St. Lidwina (Patron Saint for Those Suffering from Chronic Pain
- for our injury list)
St. Dymphna (Patron Saint of Depression and Mental Illness - for
the team's general well being)
St. Jude (Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes - for many of us on
here)
Just to be sure, they are not presently contracted by
Northampton.

I would have been happy for JK to stay and coach the forwards

Also pertinent that this was your 667th post. Your 666th was
significantly less holy ;)

Players have said JK was best forwards coach. Heard from
ex-Quins players he has very good at technical side of coaching

There may well be other reasons but we haven't seen "The Rolling
Maul, Thing of Beauty" since JK stopped coaching the forwards.

What has Booth done since he has been at Quins?
Rather less than nothing, I suggest.
He seems to spend all his time walking around with his hands in
his pockets!
