Six weeks after RugbyPass first broke the news of his impending arrival, ambitious Championship side Doncaster Knights have today officially announced the signing of ex-England winger Semesa Rokoduguni.

The 36-year-old, who is a Lance Corporal in the British Army, moves to the Knights off the back of a successful season in Pro D2 in France with Montauban.

But it is his 10-season spell with Bath that he is best known for, the powerful winger scoring 71 tries in 194 appearances for the blue, black and whites.

The Fijian-born star earned four caps for England off the back of his performances for the Premiership club and scored four tries.

He will be known to Knights head coach Joe Ford, as his dad, Mike, coached Rokoduguni during his time in charge of Bath.

Ford said: “His experience and knowledge of the game will certainly boost the squad both on and off the pitch. He’s an incredible player and we are so excited to introduce him to the rest of they boys.”

Everyone knows Robertson is not supposed to be doing the coaching

Yeah it’s not actually that I’m against the idea this is not good enough, I just don’t know whos responsible for the appalling selections, whether the game plan will work, whether it hasn’t worked because Razor has had too much input or too little input, and whether were better or worse for the coachs not making it work against themselves.

I think that’s the more common outlook rather than people panicking mate, I think they just want something to happen and that needs an outlet. For instance, yes, we were still far too good for most in even weaker areas like the scrum, but it’s the delay in the coaches seemingly admitting that it’s been dissapoint. How can they not see DURING THE GAME it didn’t go right and say it? What are they scared of? Do they think the estimation of the All Blacks will go down in peoples minds? And of course thats not a problem if it weren’t for the fact they don’t do any better the next game! And then they finally seem to see and things get better. I’ve had endless discussions with Chicken about what’s happening at half time, and the lack of any real change. That problem is momentum is consistent with their being NO progress through the year. The team does not improve. The lineout is improved and is good. The scrum is weak and stays weak. The misfires and stays misfiring. When is the new structure following Lancasters Leinster going to click?
