Hill critical of players 'disloyalty'

Bristol director of rugby Richard Hill has echoed the unifying comments of England captain Phil Vickery after criticising the “disloyalty” of players who air grievances against their coaches in public.

There has been close scrutiny in the days since England lost the World Cup final 15-6 to South Africa of comments made by the likes of Mike Catt and Lawrence Dallaglio on the leadership of England coach Brian Ashton during the tournament in France.
