Rivals struggle to settle in new order

One of the better lines on Twitter last week had it that Ben Te’o leaving Leinster for Worcester was like Hugh Grant ditching Liz Hurley for Divine Brown. If that was a bit of an insult to Worcester, then it paled compared to Te’o’s albeit unintentional put down of his current outfit. “It is clearly a club which is on the up,” he said of his prospective new home. “Everything is in place for Worcester to become a successful club competing in the top tier”. Oh dear.
