“Disaster” – The five worst rugby signings of 2021 is a competitive list

#1. Chris Ashton (Worcester Warriors)

Could it be anyone else? Ashton, the former England wing,left Worcester Warriors with immediate effect last Monday. The 34-year-old last played for Worcester in the Premiership back in March and has struggled with knee and calf issues this season, while he received a six-game suspension last season following a red card against Northampton. Worcester also said that “the daily commute from his home in Northampton had also proved challenging”.
