European Champions La Rochelle are locked in talks trying to agree on a deal with Worcester Warriors for back row Kyle Hatherell who wasn’t available for the opening game of the season against London Irish.
Warriors boss Steve Diamond admitted in his pre-match media conference that the club will always look at a deal that comes in for a player who is still under contract for another season.
