Richards said: “We're delighted to welcome Andy and Jamie to Kingston Park, although there is obviously disappointment that they come through injuries to Mike and Ruki.”
“With those two unavailable to us for the immediate future, the opportunity to bring in additional players of the quality of Andy and Jamie, to supplement what we already have here, was a great opportunity”
“Andy is a known quantity and will bring a huge amount of experience while Jamie has been impressing a lot of people over in and has the opportunity to do the same here at Kingston Park.”
