■Comment　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 “Joining the coaching team for Sakura 15 is a massively exciting step for me.  Lesley is doing an incredible job and I look forward to working closely with her and learning from her, while using my expertise and knowledge to further challenge and develop our players.  I’m delighted that I can be with the squad in Kamaishi as I think it will be a special place to start my journey with the team.”
