Kingston extends deal

Harlequins head coach John Kingston has agreed a new contract that will keep him at Twickenham Stoop until 2012.
Kingston has filled the role for the past 18 months, helping Quins to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals and to second place in the Guinness Premiership last season.
"We have developed a style that the players enjoy and which allows them to express themselves in a positive and successful manner," he said. "The squad has made giant strides and, with our summer issues well and truly behind us, I have no doubt that the next few years are going to be very exciting."
Quins are set to unveil their new director of rugby before Christmas to replace Dean Richards, who resigned amid the 'Bloodgate' scandal.
