Road to replacing Michael Cheika has been long and torturous, but club believe they have finally made ideal appointmentThe white smoke that Leicester Tigers used in their social media post to signify the imminent appointment of Geoff Parling as head coach was a self-referential nod to a process that has taken as many twists and turns as a Robert Harris novel. While far from straightforward, the conclave inside Welford Road are convinced they have a candidate ready to lead them into a new era.

We are in Whitechapel, east London, and the artist, Nelly, is hard at work, painting the names of the 2025 Lions squad on the side of a building in gigantic fashion. Huddled beneath are some of the great and good of Lions alumni. Jamie Roberts chats to dignitaries; Gavin Hastings does a piece to camera before looking over his shoulder at the artist's progress, just a stone's throw from where Ieuan Evans - his former Lions team-mate - named Andy Farrell's squad, at the 02.

A late change for Bath!Francois van Wyk has dropped out of the Bath bench which has led to one of the more quirkier last-minute switches we're likely to see in this sport. Van Wyk is a loosehead so Bath have decided to start Will Stuart at tighthead and move starting No 3 Thomas du Toit down to the bench - Du Toit, of course, can cover both sides (excellently). Archie Griffin comes onto the bench for Bath as tighthead cover, with Du Toit covering loosehead. Got it?

Leicester's ongoing hunt to find a new head coach has taken another dramatic twist as Leon MacDonald, the preferred candidate for the role, rejected the Tigers ' offer. Representatives from the Premiership club had travelled over to Australia to meet MacDonald, 47, and finalise an appointment, but Telegraph Sport understands the two parties could not agree terms on a deal.
