Son of ex-Wales coach among 7 new signings so far by Doncaster
By Online Editors
Life for Championship club Doncaster following the decision by Clive Griffiths to step away as director of rugby after nine years is beginning to take shape, Billy McBryde, the 23-year-old son of ex-Wales assistant coach Robin, becoming the seventh player to take up an offer from new Knights boss Steve Boden.
With former Leicester Tigers player Joe Ford also on board as backs coach on a two-year deal following a short-lived stint at Yorkshire Carnegie, Doncaster are beginning to piece things together for the 2020/21 Championship season and McBryde is their latest arrival in a recruitment drive that began in April following a truncated season that ended with Knights finishing in 11th spot following a five-point deduction for using an unregistered agent when signing prop Dan Suter last year.
Utility back James Kane was signed two months ago from NSW Country Eagles. He was followed by the Jersey duo of midfielder Mark Best and back row Conor Joyce along with Northampton scrum-half James Mitchell. Then came Nottingham loosehead Tom Hill and Bristol back row Sam Graham before the signing of McBryde from Welsh Premiership side RGC 1404.
All the deals are for one year, bar the two-year contract for Hill and the one-plus-one agreement with Best. “Billy is a great fit for us as a developing team, he has a very strong and varied kicking game which we really like,” said Boden on the Doncaster club website after McBryde was confirmed as the Knights’ 19th player now under contract for the new season.
“We feel Billy has a lot of areas to grow, which is exciting with the drive and ambition he has – particularly working alongside Joe Ford. Billy will give us great balance and drive competition in the fly-half position with Sam Olver, which can only be a good thing for the team and for both players as individuals."
McBryde made a Scarlets debut versus Bath in an Anglo-Welsh Cup match and represented Wales at U20s before joining RCG for the 2018/19 season. He immediately became a fixture in their side, playing 50 consecutive matches and was top-scorer in the Welsh Premiership’s recently prematurely ended season.
“I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to be part of a new-look Knights squad and testing myself in a tough league,” said McBryde. “Even after my first conversation with Steve, the ambition he had for the club was clear and I’m looking forward to linking up with the staff and players and putting on the Knights jersey for the upcoming season."
McBryde’s switch to England mirrors his father’s decision to also recently leave Wales, Robin opting to take up a scrum coach role at Leinster in Ireland after lengthy service as part of the Warren Gatland’s national team set-up.

Unfortunately, Ulster taking on Leinster players has not proven to be a formula for success. Once they've been rejected by Leinster, there doesn't appear to be much chance of representing Ireland.
From my perspective, there are no easy fixes. The other provinces are battling a continuous decline, one which the IRFU aren't really fussed about as long as their boys in blue are succeeding.
And out of interest, how many players were developed through Connacht? Was Henshaw the only Connacht raised player who actually played in the 6 nations this year?
Go to commentsScammed and Saved: GrayHat Hacks Turned My Crypt0 Nightmare Around
It all started with a dream and a single email. I’d been saving Bitc0in for years, hoping to buy my first home. On a rainy Tuesday, I received what looked like an urgent message from my wallet provider, asking me to verify my account details. The email was polished, the logo perfect, and the urgency felt real. Without thinking twice, I clicked the link and entered my credentials. It wasn’t until hours later, when I checked my wallet and saw a balance of zero, that the horror sank in. My 2.5 BTC, worth over $150,000, was gone. The scammer had drained it through a series of rapid transactions, scattering it across the blockchain like digital dust in the wind.
I was devastated. My dream of homeownership vanished in a click, and I felt like a fool. Days blurred into a haze of panic and regret until I stumbled upon GrayHat Hacks online. Their testimonials spoke of miracles, st0len crypt0 recovered, lives restored. Desperate, I reached ou to them. They explained that while Bitc0in’s blockchain is public, tracing st0len funds is like finding a needle in a haystack. But they had the tools: proprietary software that could analyze transaction patterns, identify wallet clusters, and potentially link the scammer’s address to an exchange where the funds might be frozen.
GrayHat Hacks dove into the blockchain, following the trail of my st0len Bitc0in as it hopped from wallet to wallet. They used advanced clustering algorithms to group addresses likely controlled by the same entity, narrowing down the scammer’s footprint. Then came the breakthrough: one of the wallets was tied to a known exchange. It was a tense few hours, but I eventually received the email I’d been praying for, my Bitc0in was recovered.
GrayHat Hacks expertise turned what felt like an impossible loss into a second chance. They even took the time to teach me how to spot phishing scams, ensuring I’d never fall victim again. If you’re reading this, heart pounding after a crypt0 nightmare, know that GrayHat Hacks is the real deal. They’re not just technicians; they’re lifesavers, blending cutting-edge blockchain analysis with a human touch. My dream of a home is back on track, and I owe it all to them.
