As revealed EXCLUSIVELY by Neil Fissler last Sunday in The Rugby Paper, Richard Hibbard and Rhys Priestland are set to join the Premiership as the Welsh exodus continues.
British & Irish Lions hooker Hibbard is believed to be on his way to Gloucester where he could link up with Ulster tighthead John Afoa.
If Hibbard’s move is yet to be confirmed by the Cherry and Whites, chairman Ryan Walkinshaw hinted last night that Kingsholm could have the best front row in Premiership next season.
Could @gloucesterrugby have the best front row in the @premrugby next season…. Highly likely 😉

Meanwhile, Priestland is set to follow in Bradley Davies’ footsteps and join London Wasps as Dai Young looks to splash the new cash flowing at Adams Park.
