COLLIN OSBORNE LEAVES HARLEQUINS

HARLEQUINS ANNOUNCED TODAY (11TH JULY) THAT SKILLS COACH COLLIN
OSBORNE HAS LEFT THE CLUB FOR PERSONAL REASONS.
Collin originally joined Harlequins coaching staff in 1996 at
the start of the professional era and played a key role in
helping introduce the standards of training and commitment
required for the team to compete effectively in the changed
rugby environment.
His experience was to prove invaluable when the RFU introduced
academies in 2002 and Harlequins was successful in being granted
an RFU Academy licence. Collin was instrumental in attracting a
group of talented young players to the Academy that have gone on
to contribute greatly to Harlequins and achieve international
status with England.
Eight seasons ago he was appointed Skills Coach to the first
team squad and worked with the players in an era that was the
most successful in the Club’s professional history.
Everyone connected with Harlequins would like to thank Collin
for his contribution and commitment over the years and wishes
him well for the future.

Are we still hoping Nick Easter goes too?

Having sent him to look at coaching in South Africa, it would
seem a bit of a waste of money to dump Easter at this point!
"Personal reasons" is the in-phrase for coaches who are moving
on.
But would like to thank Colin for all the hard work he's put in
to growing the academy and coaching the first team and wish him
all the best for the future!

Personally, I was hoping that Osborne would stay. I think that
Osborne/Williams/Dippy were good at working with
Academy/A-Team/etc

Thanks to Collin for all he's done. Been a great coach over the
years but probably right time to move on

I don't necessarily want him or anyone to go, I want them to
improve and improve the team and be successful.

Would like to thank you Colin for everything you've done, what
an amazing success you made of our academy and the players that
came through the ranks under your watch, good luck in whatever
you decide to do.

Thanks and good luck Collin, 22 years with a single club is a
long time and you did many good things in that time.
