SALE SPEEDSTER Marland Yarde, who was forced out of Harlequins earlier this season, has paid tribute to sacked Director Of Rugby John Kingston.
“I got on well with JK,” Yarde said.
“He helped me a lot in my time at Harlequins. I don’t know what the ins and outs of his departure are and it is not really of major interest to me. My major interest is for him as a person and his welfare.
“John Kingston is a strong man and he is a very strong person mentally and I am sure whatever adversity he has been through right now he will come through it. I wish him all the best.”
