New faces will make Leeds stronger - Davies

Leeds director of rugby Phil Davies last night revealed the Tykes have made several new signings who should fill the void left by Braam van Straaten’s departure at the end of the season.

Springbok international van Straaten is leaving Headingley for Leeds’ Zurich Premiership rivals Sale Sharks, agreeing a two-year deal which will see him feature as cover for the injured Charlie Hodgson.
