Charlie Atkinson ‘excited to make his mark’ at Gloucester after leaving Tigers
By PA
Gloucester have completed the signing of fly-half Charlie Atkinson from Leicester.
The 22-year-old, who began his career at Wasps, scored 59 points in 23 matches for Leicester and was invited to the England senior squad training camp in June last year.
Atkinson said: “It’s a great opportunity for me to join a good group of players and staff and I’m excited to make my mark.
“I’ve enjoyed my time in Leicester over the last year, but Kingsholm is a place I’ve always relished playing at because the fans make an incredible atmosphere, so it’ll be nice having them on my side now.
“I can’t wait to get out there in a Cherry and White jersey.”

Wow, there is a lot of “could have” and “ should have” in this waist of time dribble. I love the deportation in this story to search for a glimpse at a silver lining. Here are the facts, NZ was a badly coached and undisciplined shadow of their former glory. They never took the lead in a game they were never going to win.

I don’t think the ABs Wallabies game should be a one off winner takes all though, just the first match with the other two later in the year with the RC. Reason being, no one will ever shut up about how aussies couldn’t win it when it was a 3 match series.
