Woodman ordered to rest
July 22, 2000

Gloucester's England prop Trevor Woodman has been told to rest for six months to cure a neck injury.
Woodman was forced to return home just three days into this summer's tour of South Africa because of a disc problem - and he will now be out of action until Christmas.
The 23-year-old, who will miss the autumn Tests against Argentina, Australia and South Africa said: "There is nothing I can do about it. I am so disappointed, but if I want to play for another eight years, six months does not seem like a long time and I have to look at it positively."
Meanwhile, Rory Greenslade-Jones has rejoined the Cherry and Whites on a one-year contract. The Army winger, released from Kingsholm 12 months ago, spent last season at Pontypridd but Gloucester boss Philippe Saint-Andre has signed the
25-year-old because he will be without the injured Tom Beim and Brian Johnson for the start of the season.
