Rotherham rescue

Rotherham’s future is likely to be decided within the next 24 hours as Twickenham top brass debate a proposed rescue plan.

Seemingly on its knees a fortnight ago, the club remain hopeful of starting their National League One campaign as planned in 11 days’ time.

But that hinges on the RFU management board accepting a local consortium’s business plan to keep Rotherham going.

Around £500,000 has been raised by the group, while Rotherham players have agreed to take sizeable pay cuts as part of the Titans’ survival fight.

Dawson move Matt Dawson insists he has no regrets about leaving Northampton to join the Zurich Premiership and Heineken Cup champions Wasps.

The England international left Franklin’s Gardens after 13 years service but is now relishing the prospect of playing in London.

“I know now that I made the right decision 100%,” he said.

“The move is exactly what I needed. The work ethic here is probably above clubs that I have been associated with.”

The 31-year-old was one of stars of England’s World Cup victory in Australia last November.
