Bristol Bears defence coach Omar Mouneimne has left the club by mutual consent with immediate effect.
Mouneimne's departure comes less than three weeks after The Daily Telegraph published a story reporting senior players had confronted the coach aledging he was behind the use of a Twitter ‘burner’ account called “GrindRugby”, which has now been deleted, that was criticising director of rugby Pat Lam for the lack of time given to defence in training.
Mouneimne has strenuously denied any involvement and has been in the coaching box at Bristol since the accusations came to light.
