Brian Ashton: 'I couldn't bare staring at Rob every day'Brian Ashton has reportedly turned down the offer of taking charge of the RFU national academy, according to the
Guardian on Monday.
The RFU remain hopeful that Ashton will come on board in some fashion or another, but the manner in which he was dismissed, didn't really have any sane rugby fan rushing to the bookies.
RFU Chairman Martyn Thomas still holds hopes of getting his man and he expects an announcement within the next fortnight.
