The British Olympic Association has told a leading Brexit campaign group to stop using Team GB images in its social media posts.

Leave.EU received a letter from BOA lawyers telling it to stop using logos and images of athletes immediately.
The campaign group said it would "continue to publish stories that showcase how Britain is thriving as we Leave the European Union".
Its Twitter feed still features a video congratulating Team GB's medal winners.
Leave.EU, founded by millionaire UKIP donor Arron Banks, played a prominent role in the 23 June referendum despite not being the official Leave campaign.
Its recent tweets include a video - posted on Monday - showing some of Team GB's successful Olympians, with the title: "We may be small, but we truly are Great Britain" and ending by showing Team GB's logo.
The group has received a letter from the British Olympic Association - which it has posted on its website - warning that its use of "Olympic-related intellectual property" was an infringement of the BOA's rights.
"These rights are reserved exclusively for our official partners who, as you will appreciate, pay significant sums to use our IP [intellectual property] and associate themselves with the Olympic Games," the letter said.
Leave.EU accused the BOA of suing it "for pointing out how great Team GB are doing".
But the BOA said no legal action had been taken.
It said: "In some cases during the Games we have to speak to organisations about the misuse of our athletes' and team's IP.
"In this case, given the scale of the use of our intellectual property without our consent, we contacted Leave.EU by email to request them to refrain from doing so."
Gold medal-winning cyclist Callum Skinner responded to Leave.EU's video by tweeting his thanks for the support, but adding: "I wish you wouldn't use my image to promote your campaign".


David Nugent's first goal in 17 games gave Leicester a slender and deserved lead over Watford after an open Championship semi-final first leg.

The Foxes dominated a gripping first half with a pacy and powerful display but missed a couple of fine chances.
Watford improved after the break and Matej Vydra and Alex Geijo both wasted glorious opportunities.

But Nugent headed in Anthony Knockaert's late free-kick to secure the win ahead of Sunday's second leg.
It was the striker's 15th goal of the season and, although it is his first since January, it could prove to be well worth the wait for a side whose play-off dream seemed to be over less than a week ago.
The Foxes were second in the table in February but a dismal end-of-season run saw them win just once in their final 12 games before last Saturday.
However, having played with such freedom and imagination in the thrilling play-off clinching victory over East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest, Leicester started brimming with confidence.
And once again the tremendous pace, direct running and trickery of Lloyd Dyer and Saturday's match-winner Knockaert was the standout feature of their attacking play.
Watford, the Football League's second-highest top scorers this season with 85 goals, were rattled, uncharacteristically sloppy, and barely got out of their half in the opening 15 minutes.
Nugent tested fit-again Hornets goalkeeper Manuel Almunia with a cheeky back-heel and had a decent strike blocked, and Ritchie De Laet headed straight at the former Arsenal man from point-blank range.
Leicester have the advantage and rightly so. They were the better team on the day. Watford will be disappointed with what they created. But the tie is far from over and both teams have everything to play for in the return leg on Sunday
Watford's incredible season was in danger of being forgotten as they struggled to cope with the onslaught and, seemingly, the crushing disappointment of Saturday's failure to secure automatic promotion.
But having weathered the storm in blustery, rainy conditions at a heaving King Power Stadium they nearly went ahead.
A terrible defensive slip-up by Manchester United trialist Jeffrey Schlupp allowed Ikechi Anya to run through and Kasper Schmeichel had to be alert to block his strike and an even better follow-up effort from Almen Abdi.
Marco Cassetti also shot over from distance but Leicester remained the dominant side and responded again.
Nugent should have scored but side-footed wide from 12 yards after more great work by the jet-heeled Dyer and Knockaert went close after a lightning break and some smart footwork on the right flank.
The chances slowed up after the interval and the quality and excitement also dropped off. But the frantic pace remained.
Watford began to show the measure of control they had previously lacked and looked more comfortable in defence against Leicester's pace.
And they had two glorious chances to go ahead.
Watford, who finished third in the Championship table, may be trailing but they will be heartened by the fact that in each of the last two seasons the team finishing third has won promotion via the play-offs - West Ham and Swansea
Football League player of the year Vydra should have scored but completely fluffed his kick when through one-on-one and Geijo headed over from six yards at the back post when he seemed to completely mistime his leap.
The Foxes made Watford pay when Knockaert swung over a teasing cross and Nugent rose to head in from close range and send the home fans into raptures and earn a vital lead prior to Sunday's second leg at Vicarage Road.
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson:
"It's half-time, it was a tight game with two good sides. We were able to take a chance towards the end when it looked as though it was going to end 0-0 and it's all to play for.
"We've got to be positive and try and win the next game as well.
"The play-offs are always a bit difficult to negotiate in terms of anything can happen and both sides will feel they can win."
Watford manager Gianfranco Zola:
"I didn't expect them to score, I didn't see that coming at any time because it looked like we were in control of it.
"We had a few chances when we should have scored.
"But it's only half-time. We are looking forward to playing on Sunday.
"We have to win the game - that is what we want. It is going to be tough but we have a lot of confidence too."

Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has described abortion as tantamount to "murder", angering women's rights groups and sparking an intense debate in the mainly Muslim nation.

In line with Mr Erdogan's comments, Turkey's health minister proposed a change in the abortion law, which rights groups fear could lead to a total ban.
Abortions became legal in 1983. According to 2008 figures, 10% of pregnancies in Turkey were terminated through abortion, far lower than the European average rate of 30%.
Speaking last week at a conference on population and development, Mr Erdogan said "there is no difference between killing a baby in its mother's stomach and killing a baby after birth".
"I consider abortion to be murder. No-one should have the right to allow this to happen."
Mr Erdogan also said he was "a prime minister that is against birth by caesarean" because "unnecessary" elective caesareans were "unnatural".
Mr Erdogan, who is known to advocate having large families, caused yet more anger when he compared abortion to the aerial bombardment of civilians.
"Every abortion is like an Uludere," he said - a reference to an incident last December in which 34 civilians were killed by the Turkish military in an air strike near the Iraqi border.
An investigation into the incident is still going on, with claims that the civilians were mistaken for Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) armed insurgents.
Perhaps inevitably, Mr Erdogan received the backing of the Turkish parliament's human rights committee chairman, Ayhan Sefer Ustun.
Mr Ustun, who belongs to the ruling Islamist-rooted AKP (Justice and Development Party) of Mr Erdogan, said abortion should be banned as it constitutes "a crime against humanity".
"The notion that life begins after a few months is a grand delusion. We now need to rid society of this misconception. It also poses a danger to the mother's life."
But that was not the reaction from feminists and women's rights groups.
Habibe Yilmaz, lawyer and director of the Centre for Legal Support for Women, said "making a decision regarding one's own body... is a fundamental human right".
"Depriving women of this right would be tantamount to restricting her right to health and the right to live a fulfilling life."
The Istanbul Feminist Collective reacted angrily. It staged a sit-in outside the prime minister's office in Istanbul. Women held banners declaring "Murder is male violence, abortion is a choice!" and "Our womb, our life, our decision!"
Next in line to reject Mr Erdogan's comments was Turkey's medical fraternity. The Turkish Medical Association (TTB) warned that restricting abortion would only encourage illegal practices, push women to use "primitive methods" to abort and increase maternal mortality.
"Prime Minister Erdogan's worries that the population will decrease and the nation will be wiped off the face of the Earth are baseless. Turkey's population will reach 90 million in 2050 without any additional arrangements," said TTB Secretary-General Feride Tanik.
The prime minister also faces international criticism. US-based Human Rights Watch has warned that restrictions on abortion would threaten "women's human rights to life, health, equality, privacy, physical integrity, and freedom of religion and conscience".
Meanwhile, Turkey's Health Minister Recep Akdag has said a draft law will be submitted next month that would restrict or ban abortions.
"I believe the law should prevent abortions as much as possible, except in cases when they are medically necessary. When making a decision, politicians will take into account both the scientific and moral aspects of the issue," he said.
In a reference to babies born as a result of rape, Mr Akdag said that the state would look after the babies if "the mother has been through something bad".
It is not clear what the draft bill would entail, but rights groups fear either a total ban or limiting abortions to four weeks after pregnancy. Current Turkish law allows abortions until the 10th week after conception.
New restrictions on abortion would not necessarily hurt Turkey's bid for EU membership, as some EU member states either ban abortion or set very strict conditions for it.

A 74-year-old woman is in a critical condition after being hit by a car at traffic lights in Edinburgh.

Police said the Ford Fiesta struck the woman when the vehicle moved away from the lights at the junction of Charlotte Square and Rose Street at about 19:30 on Sunday.
Officers were keen to speak to the driver of a green BMW which was also at the traffic lights.
They urged anyone who had witnessed the incident to contact the police.
The injured woman was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
Sgt Ross Drummond said: "We are urging anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward and help with police enquiries.
"We are particularly keen to speak to the driver of the green BMW, who was present at the same lights when the incident took place."


Everton manager Roberto Martinez has criticised Chelsea over their pursuit of defender John Stones.

Media playback is not supported on this device
Bids of £20m, £26m and £30m for the 21-year-old have been rejected and both Martinez and chairman Bill Kenwright insist the player is going nowhere.
"It is no good just to think that because you have a Champions League budget you're going to click your fingers and get anything you want," said Martinez.
"Clearly we don't work like that."
Media playback is not supported on this device
The England international asked to leave Goodison Park on Tuesday and Kenwright released a statement on Thursday which insisted Stones was not for sale.
It is understood the Premier League champions do not currently intend to make another offer for the central defender before the transfer window in England closes at 18:00 BST on Tuesday.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho refused to comment on Stones at a pre-match news conference before his side's game with Crystal Palace on Saturday but Martinez said Stones would feature in Saturday's 17:30 BST kick-off against Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
It has been reported that Stones - who arrived from Barnsley for £3m in February 2013, and has four years left on his contract after signing an extension in August 2014 - has been forced to move out of his home and into a hotel after being targeted by angry Everton fans.
Martinez says action needs to be taken to help talented young players in the transfer window.

"John is just another victim of this stupid system and he needs protection. All the young players that are doing well at their clubs need protection," added the Spaniard.
"I don't think it's fair that any player should have to go through that while having to perform on a football pitch.
"The football authorities need to look into it very seriously.
"We are very much aware of the security in this particular period when the transfer window is open, that we need to be more alert and help our players because it is what we are exposing our players to - those emotions. That is natural.
"It seems like money can buy anything these days and clearly what we stand for at Everton is more important values."


The Co-operative Bank has reported another loss of Â£477m, one month after it put itself up for sale.

The loss is not as deep as the Â£610m recorded in 2015, but it is the fifth year in a row the bank has lost money.
The bank, in which the Co-operative Group still has a small stake, was rescued from the brink of collapse by a group of hedge funds in 2013.
So far, no bidder has declared themselves, but the bank said it was "pleased with the interest to date".
It was forced to offer itself for sale after it was unable to reach a strong enough footing to satisfy the Bank of England's regulatory requirements.
The bank blamed low interest rates and the higher-than-expected cost of its turnaround plan for its failure to meet the Bank's Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) rules.
The PRA had welcomed the bank's decision to put itself up for sale.
But the planned sales raised concerns from the former business secretary, Sir Vince Cable, and two Treasury Committee MPs.
The Co-op Bank has four million customers and is well known for its ethical standpoint, which its board said made it "a strong franchise with significant potential" to prospective buyers.


Katarina Johnson-Thompson set a second British record within a week as she won the long jump with a leap of 6.93m at the Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix.

Media playback is not supported on this device
The 22-year-old heptathlete from Liverpool set a national indoor record with her third jump to win the event.
Johnson-Thompson broke the British high jump record last week with 1.97m and also set a hurdles personal best.
"I jumped a PB and ran a PB in the hurdles last week, so I knew I was in all right shape," she told BBC Sport.
Johnson-Thompson missed last summer's Commonwealth Games and European Championships with a foot injury.
She now heads to next month's European Indoor Championships in Prague, where she will compete in the pentathlon.
"I'm happy with it but I'm like 'right, let's move on from this,'" she added. "I'm just so happy to be in good shape, competing and healthy and happy. I'm not going to take it for granted any more."
Olympic champion Greg Rutherford set four indoor personal bests on his way to winning the men's long jump with a 2015 world leading 8.17m, one centimetre short of the national record.
The 28-year-old looks likely to stick with his plan of skipping Prague to focus on winning a first world outdoor title later in the year.
"I don't know now," he said. "It's a possibility but it's a slim one. I think probably not still. I never planned to do it and never set it as a target.
"We've done one jump session and one run-up session in the build-up to this and the rest has been weight sessions, so we'll see.
"If it was any other year then I'd consider it, but I'm so determined to win the World Championships this year and I do believe I can do that."
World number one Jenny Meadows won the 800m in a time of two minutes 01.25 seconds, while Nigel Levine won the 400m in 46.43secs ahead of compatriot Jarryd Dunn.
The 60m was won by 38-year-old Kim Collins of Saint Kitts and Nevis in 6.50 seconds ahead of Britain's Chijindu Ujah (6.55).


National League Guiseley have parted company with manager Mark Bower after starting the season with five defeats.

The former Bradford City midfielder, 36, had managed the team since 2013 and led the club to promotion in May 2015 before a 20th-placed finish last term.
"Struggling at the foot of the National League table, the board felt a change was necessary," a club statement said.
Bower's assistant, Danny Boshell, has also been dismissed, with defender Adam Lockwood taking interim charge.


The European Parliament has voted to set up a committee to investigate the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

The committee will investigate whether regulators failed to prevent the car industry from cheating emissions tests designed to reduce pollution.
The executive branch of the EU, the European Commission, which will be scrutinised as part of the probe, said it would work with the committee.
The parliamentary inquiry could last for up to a year.
It will investigate alleged breaches of European Union law and "maladministration".
Forty-five members of the Parliament will sit on the committee and preside over public hearings of testimony from government, EU and industry representatives.
Volkswagen said in September that it rigged US tests for nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel cars and that up to 11 million vehicles could be fitted with illegal devices capable of cheating tests.
"Defeat devices are banned in EU law," European Commission spokeswoman Lucia Caudet said. "The policing in the area is the responsibility of the appropriate national enforcement authorities."


People will be barred from using a recycling centre only a few miles from their home because they live in the wrong council authority.

Hampshire residents were previously permitted to use recycling centres in Newbury and Padworth, Berkshire.
But after Hampshire County Council stopped contributing to its costs, West Berkshire council said it would bar Hampshire residents from using it.
Residents will have to display permits from 26 September.
People living near the Berkshire/Hampshire border will now have to travel to Basingstoke, 10 miles further than some residents previously had to travel.
Chris Webb, of Ecchinswell, Hampshire, said: "I'm very much closer to Newbury than Basingstoke.
"Instead of being able to use the facilities, it becomes quite a logistical headache to get off to Basingstoke."
West Berkshire Council, which saw its residents barred from a Reading tip earlier this year, said the move was to ensure "residents do not have to pay for waste brought to the district from elsewhere".
West Berkshire residents will be given permits, which will have to be shown at tips in Padworth and Newbury.
Previously Hampshire's authority paid Â£200,000 a year for its residents to use the tips, which accounted for 40% of waste taken at Padworth and 20% at Newbury.
Currently no Hampshire residents will be able to use the West Berkshire tips, but a paid-for permit could come into force at a later date.
Councillor Marcus Franks said: "We have said we will look into a chargeable permit, but we need to let our scheme settle down first."


The Scottish Conservatives have called for an "immediate review" of the business rates revaluation after firms raised concerns about tax increases.

An assessment of how much each Scottish firm will pay in non-domestic rates is under way, to take effect from April.
Tory leader Ruth Davidson has written to Nicola Sturgeon calling for an "urgent review" of the process.
The first minister has said all businesses will have the chance to appeal the final valuations.
And she said that 100,000 small firms would be lifted out of having to pay rates altogether via the small business bonus scheme, claiming Scotland has "the most competitive business rates regime in the whole UK".
The revaluation of how much firms have to pay is being carried out by independent assessors, funded by local councils. The Scottish Assessors Association has published provisional values, with the finalised figures to be sent out in March before they take effect in the new financial year.
The last revaluation in Scotland was carried out in 2010.
The Conservatives said they had been "inundated with letters from businesses across Scotland who are facing huge increases in their rates", claiming some faced having to pay four times more than they did previously.
The Scottish Tourism Alliance has also requested a meeting with Ms Sturgeon to discuss what they called "crippling" rates increases, while the Scottish Chambers of Commerce have also raised concerns.
Ms Davidson said: "These shops, hotels and restaurants are vital to our economy, providing much needed jobs in many areas of the country, and we cannot afford to see them simply go out of business.
"That's why I've called on Nicola Sturgeon to listen to the voices of these businesses and the Scottish Tourism Alliance and launch an urgent review into these rate increases.
"The amounts that are being asked for are clearly unsustainable and if immediate action is not taken then we risk seeing a huge amount of damage done to our economy."
A review group led by former RBS chairman Ken Barclay has been set up to "enhance and reform" the business rates system in Scotland, although it will not report back until after the new rates have come into force.
Ms Davidson and Ms Sturgeon have clashed over the matter in the Holyrood chamber in recent weeks, with the first minister noting that "competitive business taxes are important".
She said: "The final valuations will be issued later this year and all businesses will have the opportunity to appeal if they think that their valuation is wrong.
"We have the most competitive business rates regime in the whole UK, with 100,000 small businesses having been lifted out of business rates altogether.
"We have a tourism sector that, thanks to the good work of those in it, is booming, and the employment level is rising much faster than it is in the rest of the UK. We are also the best-performing part of the UK outside south-east England for inward investment.
"Those are the success stories of the Scottish economy, and we will continue to invest in the success of our economy. We will also protect our public services and those on low incomes."


Wasps wing Christian Wade has landed a unique double at the Rugby Players' Association awards.

Wade, 22, was named both the Players' Player of the Year and the Young Player of the Year after a superb season.
He scored 18 tries in 26 appearances and finished level with Wasps team-mate Tom Varndell as the Premiership's joint leading try-scorer with 12.
Jonny Wilkinson is the only other player to have won both RPA awards - but he did so in different years.
Wilkinson won the young player trophy in 1999 and the main award in 2003.
"I am really shocked and humbled," Wade said.
"When it is the players who you play week-in, week-out it makes it that more special. It is the greatest feeling to have the respect of your peers.
"Looking at the quality of the nominees in both awards I didn't expect to win and I am thankful to come out on top."
Wade won the Players' Player of the Year award ahead of the Leicester flanker Julian Salvi, with Saracens and England prop Mako Vunipola in third.
Vunipola also finished runner-up in the Young Player of the Year award with his brother, the Saracens-bound Wasps number eight, Billy in third.
Wasps were strongly represented, with lock Joe Launchbury named the England Player of the Year for 2012-2013.

The Red Arrows aerobatic team will be "around for a while yet", Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has said.

The announcement comes as RAF stations in Lincolnshire celebrate their 100th anniversary.
There has been some uncertainty in recent years whether the team, based at RAF Scampton, would be retained.
Sir Michael said: "They are a key part of our defence engagement..., and I don't think the public would let us lose the Red Arrows."
There has been speculation in the media in recent years that the Red Arrows could be axed as part of defence cuts in the UK.
In 2014, The Express reported the Queen was said to be worried about the team's future.
Politicians, including Labour's Vernon Coaker, have also previously said there can be no guarantees.
Speaking to BBC Look North, Sir Michael said: "Eventually we will have to replace the aircraft, and we will start to think about that in the next year or two."
He said any attempts to axe the team is "not a fight I would have".
The Red Arrows is currently taking part in a 60-day world tour aiming to promote "the best of British", which includes its first ever display in China.
RAF Waddington, Cranwell and Scampton are all holding events marking 100 years in the county.
Sir Michael added that "Lincolnshire is central to the RAF's story, and has a proud history".
He cited the Dambusters' role in World War Two, and the Vulcan involvement in the Falklands conflict, and the work being done today to tackle terrorism in the Middle East.
RAF Cranwell is also home to the RAF's Central Flying School, which under the leadership of Robert Smith-Barry, revolutionised flight training for new pilots.
Amendment: This story was changed on November 1 to reflect the defence secretary's comments that the Red Arrows fleet would be reviewed rather than imminently replaced.


Police in Pakistan say they have arrested several people suspected of involvement in last week's Peshawar school massacre.

Pakistan's interior minister said the men were "facilitators" in the attack, which left 141 people dead, including 132 children.
Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan added that intelligence indicated another attack was in the planning.
The Pakistani Taliban says it attacked the military-run school.
All seven attackers were reportedly killed. The Taliban said the raid was in revenge for an army offensive in the north-western region near the border with Afghanistan.
After the attack, the country lifted a moratorium on its use of the death penalty and has since executed six men.
Mr Khan said: "We are receiving intelligence from across the country that the militants are getting ready for another savage and inhuman counter-attack."
He said that he could not yet divulge the number or identity of the men.
Thousands of Pakistanis visited the army-run school on Sunday to mourn those killed.
Pakistan executed four convicts in Faisalabad on Sunday. They were the second set of prisoners to face the death penalty since the lifting of the moratorium.
The four men were convicted of involvement in a plot to assassinate then President Pervez Musharraf in 2003.
One of those executed, Akhlas Akhlaq, had dual Pakistani-Russian citizenship.
Three other men were identified by Pakistan's media as Ghulam Sarwar, Zubair Ahmed and Rashid Tipu.
Two men were also executed on Friday.
Pakistan imposed a de facto death penalty moratorium in 2008.
The new executions come despite calls by the UN not to resume them.


The use of internet banking on a computer has fallen for the first time, as users switch to mobile apps.

On average, customers logged on to banking websites 4.3m times a day in 2015, down from 4.4m in 2014, according to the British Bankers Association (BBA).
At the same time the use of apps - on phones and tablets - went up from 7m logins a day in 2014, to 11m last year.
In total, customers used such apps 4bn times in 2015, the BBA said.
"Customers love the new technology that is allowing us to bank round the clock," said Anthony Browne, the BBA's chief executive.
"You can set up standing orders while standing in the queue for the bus and check your balance while checking in at the airport."
However, when it comes to actual payments, people are still more likely to use a computer rather than an app.
In 2015 there were 417m internet payments, compared to 347m payments on an app.
One reason for that is that most customers still have to log in to their bank's website if they want to set up a payment to a new person.
However new app-based banks, like Atom, Starling and Tandem, are making it easier to carry out the full range of transactions while on the move.
The number of payments via app rose by 54% last year, while payments via websites rose by just 2%.


Experienced fly-half Andy Goode will leave Wasps at the end of the season to join Premiership rivals London Irish.

The 34-year-old is the second-highest points scorer in Premiership history, with 2,147 for Leicester, Saracens, Worcester and Wasps.
Goode, who won 17 England caps, turned down the chance to stay at Wasps in a coaching capacity.
"He has a wealth of experience to offer and is also a leader," said Exiles director of operations Bob Casey.
"Andy has proven himself as one of the best fly-halves in the Premiership and we are delighted he has signed for us."
Goode, who is out of contract at Wasps at the end of the season, said he wanted to extend his playing career before making the switch to coaching.
"I have huge respect for the coaches and the players at Wasps, and I am very grateful for them offering me the opportunity to start a coaching career here," he said.
"But I love playing the game and I'm excited to be joining London Irish, which is another club with fantastic opportunities ahead, following a similar re-building process to Wasps.
"The facilities are very impressive and having spoken to the management and coaching staff, it is a club I am really excited to be joining.
"I have had two brilliant years at Wasps and will leave with many fond memories."
The Coventry-born fly-half - and lifelong Sky Blues fan - set a Premiership record of 33 points against the Exiles earlier this season with a fairytale performance on Wasps' first appearance at the Ricoh Arena.
Goode won five Premiership titles and two Heineken Cups during nine seasons with Leicester, either side of a stint at Saracens, before moving to French side Brive, Worcester and then on to Wasps as well as a short spell in Super Rugby with the Sharks.
His England career came between 2005 and 2009, but Goode never truly established himself in the number 10 jersey for his country during a difficult time for the national side.
However, he proved himself a valuable asset at club level, with only Saracens fly-half Charlie Hodgson bettering his points tally in the top flight.
"We would have loved for Andy to stay at Wasps in a coaching capacity next season, but we fully understand his decision to play on at London Irish, during an exciting time for that club as well," said Wasps director of rugby Dai Young.
"Goodey has been a tremendous ambassador for Wasps since joining two seasons ago, both on and off the field. His performance against London Irish at our first game at the Ricoh Arena will live long in the memory."
Meanwhile, London Irish have also signed utility back Andy Short from Bristol on loan until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old former England Under-20 international is set to rejoin Worcester when his Bristol contract expires in the summer.
''The opportunity came up for us to bring Andy in for the rest of the season and it is a good fit for all involved," said Exiles head coach Glenn Delaney. "Andy will suit our style of play and be an asset to the group for the remainder of the season."


Magistrates have warned the criminal justice system is "on the cusp" of breaking down amid growing delays, court closures and funding cuts.

Cases heard in England's magistrates' courts currently take 149 days on average to complete - a week longer than four years ago.
In some parts of the country, magistrates take three times as long to deal with cases as elsewhere.
The Ministry of Justice said new technology would speed up courts.
Magistrates in England and Wales, whose courts process about 90% of all criminal cases, dealt with 1,360,858 defendants last year, 5.4% fewer than the 1,444,505 in 2011. Crown courts saw 139,000 cases in 2014.
In July, the government announced 57 magistrates courts and two crown courts would close in the wake of a 30% budget cut since 2010, which has seen HM Courts and Tribunals Service funding cut from Â£1.5bn to Â£1bn.
BBC News Online reporters covered the working of courts in three parts of England on Monday. They encountered:

Ministry of Justice figures obtained by the BBC show what victims call a "postcode lottery" in the justice system.
In the Sussex (Western) region, magistrates cases take an average of 124 days to be dealt with. In Furness and District, in Cumbria, the figure is just 37 days.

Corby has some of the slowest courts in England, taking 108 days on average to deal with cases. This, the court's bench chairman Terry Knights warns, could be causing some cases to collapse, letting the guilty walk free.
"I fear we are right on the cusp of things suddenly starting to unravel. The whole court system is Dickensian," he said.
"It isn't unusual to get a court appearance which is someone's sixth court appearance for one case.
"At the end of the day some of the witnesses and some of the victims say I can't be bothered with this - and they don't turn up and  therefore the case falls apart. Justice isn't done."
A senior Essex magistrate, who asked not to be identified, said there was a "perfect storm" for delays in the county, which has a growing population, court closures, crime hotspots including a major international port and airport and the introduction of new police software which has caused issues.
"We are seeing trials taking place something like a year after events that are in court," he said.
"During that year people's memories have faded, some people who were prepared to give evidence don't wish to do so any longer, so both the quality and quantity of evidence, which is absolutely critical, starts to slip away.
"The other thing is the victims of the alleged offence don't get the closure. They have this hanging over them for very much longer than they should do."
The step-father of a sexual assault victim in Suffolk, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said: "The court system is a postcode lottery, the time cases take really depends on where you live.
"The whole process was about twice as long as it needed to be and the impact on us as a family was awful and we will never forget how terrible that was."
Danielle Moss, whose ex-partner was jailed for three years for causing injuries to their son Ollie, said the case took two years and three months to get to trial.
"It is an awful long time, you feel like you're living a sentence," said Ms Moss, who believes her former partner is innocent.
Essex lawyer Caroline Woodley at law firm OBWPerera, told of "a huge backlog of trials" in her area.
"We experience a lot of delays. It is bad and it is probably getting worse. Delays are happening on a daily basis.
"In court, the majority of the delays involve us not getting the paperwork on time from the prosecution whether at the initial court hearing or after that, prisoners not being delivered at the right time or to the right court, interpreters not turning up on time or to the right court and there are delays in getting cases listed."
Heather Robbie from Victim Support said: "Cases are taking longer to come to court, it sometimes takes more than a year between the original crime and it coming to court.
"It is tough for victims. In our experience some people are really quite frustrated, they get stressed and anxious, it can affect their physical and mental health and it can affect the quality of their evidence."
Justice Minister Shailesh Vara said: "The magistrates are stating the obvious. There are delays. We know that.
"We want to make sure that delays are minimised if not eliminated completely, because it is important that justice takes place efficiently and properly and to make a system that is less stressful for all concerned.
He said the delays in the worst areas were not "acceptable", adding he wanted to see video conferencing and use of mobile telephones in people's sitting rooms to deal with certain cases.

The Conservatives have gained Southport from the Liberal Democrats who have held the seat for almost two decades.

Conservative Damien Moore won 18,541 votes, securing a majority of 2,914 - a swing of 7.6% from the Liberal Democrats who came third.
Liberal Democrat Sue McGuire, who was selected after former MP John Pugh retired, won 12,661 votes. Labour's Liz Savage was second with 15,627 votes.
Elsewhere in Merseyside, Labour retained all of its seats.
There was a turnout of 69.1% in Southport, where Liberal Democrat MP John Pugh had stepped down in May after 16 years representing the town.
He said in April he would retire as he he did not want to work through "the nightmare chaos of Brexit" in the next parliament.
Mr Moore said he will be "hard working" and that people in Southport had told him their priority was to get on with the business of leaving the European Union.
Labour's Liz Savage said coming second was an "historic occasion" for the party.
Labour's Margaret Greenwood retained Wirral West, a marginal seat that was targeted heavily by the Conservatives after they lost it in 2015 when Esther McVey was ousted after just one term.

Ms Greenwood got 54.3% of the vote and an increased majority of over 5,000 from 417, while Conservative Tony Caldeira came second on 42.1%.
She said she believes Labour have done better than expected because more young people voted.
"People really value public services... and realise that you need a Labour government to get them", she said.
There was a clean sweep for Labour in Wirral as Alison McGovern also held Wirral South, winning 25,871 votes.
Former Labour leadership candidate Angela Eagle retained her seat in Wallasey with 72% of the vote and an increased majority.
She said Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn "fought a great campaign" and praised his "authenticity and honesty".
Labour MP for Bootle Peter Dowd took a sideswipe at Theresa May in his victory speech after he was re-elected on 42,259 votes with a 36,200 majority.
"We've moved from strong and stable to definitely weak and wobbly," Mr Dowd, who was first elected to the seat in 2015, said.
"Theresa May was walking through wheat fields this week - it's not wheat fields she's walking through tonight, it is something much more smelly."
Labour's Dan Carden retained the party's stronghold in Liverpool Walton, winning 85.7% of the vote.
His 36,175 votes marked an increase of 4.4% on predecessor Steve Rotheram, who is now the party's mayor of the Liverpool City Region.
Laura Evans of the Conservatives came second with 3,624.
Labour's Luciana Berger remains Liverpool Wavertree MP with a sizeable 79.6% share of the vote.
"The result is a very strong indication of people's support for Labour values today... we saw an increase in turnout - it's very heartening - of young people", she said.
Meanwhile in Cheshire, Chris Matheson increased his majority in the marginal seat of Chester by more than 9,000, gaining 32,023 votes. He was defending a majority of 93.


A girl of 15 was raped at a train station in Birmingham before being sexually assaulted by the driver of a car she flagged down to help her.

Detectives called the two attacks at Witton station "horrifying" and said they were launching a major manhunt.
The teenager was with a friend when she was approached by a man who led her to a secluded part of the station and raped her.
Shortly after she flagged down a passing car and was assaulted again.
British Transport Police and West Midlands Police are treating it as two separate reports of rape.
The first attacker is described by police as an Asian man in his early 20s with light skin, brown eyes, skinny build and about 6ft tall.
Police said the second man was also Asian and in his early 20s and about 5ft 6in to 5ft 7in tall. He was of a large build, with a beard and wore a blue jumper and black jeans.
The attacks happened between 19:00 BST on Tuesday and 02:00 on Wednesday.
CCTV has been seized and is being investigated.
Det Ch Insp Tony Fitzpatrick said: "This was a horrifying ordeal for this young girl and we have specially trained officers supporting her.
"It is now vitally important we investigate exactly what happened on Wednesday morning as well as identifying offenders for both of these awful incidents.
"I would be keen to speak with anyone who may have been in the area at the time. If you were passing by the station and saw two girls walking with an older man, then please get in touch immediately.
"Likewise, if you saw any suspicious vehicles close to Witton station close to 2am then please get in touch as soon as possible. Your information could prove vital in our enquiries to identify the perpetrators."


The New England Patriots produced the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history to beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime and claim a fifth title in the most dramatic of circumstances.

The Patriots trailed by 25 points in the third quarter but recovered to level at 28-28 and force the extra period - the first in Super Bowl history.
Thanks to everyone back in Boston... we're bringing this sucker home!
Quarterback Tom Brady led the recovery, finishing with a record 466 yards en route to being named the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player for a fourth time.
The turnaround was completed when James White scored on a two-yard run - taking his personal haul for the game to 20 points.
The previous biggest deficit overcome by the eventual Super Bowl champions was 10 points, a record emphatically shattered by the Patriots on an incredible night at Houston's NRG Stadium, which also featured a spectacular half-time show by Lady Gaga.
The singer opened her set with Woody Guthrie's civil rights anthem This Land Is Your Land, "a gentle but pointed rebuke to the Trump administration", BBC Music reporter Mark Savage says.
Notable statistics from the game included:
Brady, 39, admitted afterwards the outcome could have been very different had any part of the Patriots team not done its job.
A key moment came with the Patriots trailing 28-20 with 2:28 remaining in the final quarter when Julian Edelman made a miraculous catch for a first down, somehow grabbing the ball under pressure from three opponents after it was tipped into the air by Falcons cornerback Robert Alford.

"I couldn't believe the Edelman catch, it was one of the greatest catches. I don't think he knows how he caught it. We've been on the end of a few of those, it was spectacular," Brady said.
"It's going to be a great celebration tonight. Thanks to everyone back in Boston, we love you, we're bringing this sucker home!"
He added: "That was exactly the way we didn't plan it. It was a hell of a football game.
"This is an incredible team and I'm just happy to be a part of it. We overcame a lot of different things and it's all worth it."
"To be 28-3 down, it was a lot of mental toughness from our team and we're all going to remember this for the rest of our life."

Much of the talk before the game centred on whether Brady could become the first quarterback to win five Super Bowls, but such thoughts were swiftly pushed to one side once the game began as the veteran struggled to find a rhythm.
The first quarter whipped by with hardly any stoppages and no points scored, both defences on top, but come the second quarter the momentum shifted emphatically in favour of Atlanta, who boasted the best regular-season offense and, in quarterback Matt Ryan, the NFL's MVP.
Atlanta went ahead when Devonta Freeman capped an impressive half by rushing for a touchdown, while Ryan connected with Austin Hooper for the second a short time later.
For the last year and a half I've talked about how Tom Brady is not the greatest of all time. I take it all back
Brady, meanwhile, was labouring, struggling to connect with his receivers and cutting an increasingly frustrated figure as half-time loomed.
When Alford intercepted Brady for an 82-yard touchdown, the writing appeared to be on the wall - with a 21-point lead already double the highest deficit ever overcome in a Super Bowl - although a late field goal at least gave the Pats a sliver of hope at the interval.
As Lady Gaga descended into the arena, Falcons fans were no doubt daring to dream that the franchise could break its Super Bowl duck at the second time of asking, having been beaten by the Denver Broncos on their only previous appearance in 1999.
But if they were thinking along those lines, they reckoned without Brady.
Certainly the omens looked good for Atlanta at the start of the second half with Tevin Coleman's score taking their advantage to 28-3, but that was the cue for New England's fightback to begin.
White scored what seemed like a consolation touchdown late in the third quarter, a feeling only heightened by Stephen Gostkowski's failed extra-point attempt, but still the Pats kept coming.
A Gostkowski field goal was backed up by Brady's touchdown pass to Danny Amendola, with the successful two-point conversion from a White rush closing the gap to eight points.
With Atlanta rattled, Brady marched the Patriots 90 yards upfield via Edelman's stunning catch to present White with a one-yard rushing touchdown, which was followed by a vital two-point conversion catch by Amendola that took the game to overtime.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady: "There were a lot of plays, probably about 30 of them, and if any one was different the outcome would have been different. It was unbelievable. I'm so proud of these guys.
"James White is everything you want in a team-mate. Dependable, reliable, durable. He brings it every day. We kept going to him and that speaks for itself."
Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola: "[Brady] was the same as he always is: cool, calm and collected. He's the leader, the general, the best ever and that is the end of the story."
Patriots running back James White: "We knew we had a shot the whole game. It was an amazing comeback by our team. It's surreal right now. You couldn't write this script."
Patriots coach Bill Belichick: "We have great players, they competed the whole game. They were 28-3 down but they never looked back. They just keep competing for 60 minutes, or longer."
Patriots owner Robert Kraft: "I told our fans two years ago that was the sweetest win of all, but a lot has transpired in the last two years. That doesn't need any explanation.
"This is unequivocally the sweetest. I am proud to say for the fifth time the Patriots are world champions."
Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan: "There's nothing you can really say. That's a tough loss. Obviously very disappointed, very close to getting done what we wanted to get done, but it's hard to find words tonight."
Osi Umenyiora, BBC NFL analyst: "There is no solace for Atlanta. They were ahead by 25 points, a game they had to win. I can't imagine how they are feeling. They made so many young mistakes, you can't make them against the New England Patriots.
"This is the worst loss we have ever seen in the history of the Super Bowl.
"For the last year and a half I've talked about how Tom Brady is not the greatest of all time. I take it all back. The improbability of what this man just did, I can't believe what I have seen with my own two eyes.
"It is unbelievable. I take back every negative thing I ever said about this man, he shut me up today. He truly is the greatest."

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has said he plans to contest a Football Association disrepute charge.

The Dutchman, 63, was charged after claiming the referee was against his side during the 0-0 draw at FA Cup fourth-round opponents Cambridge.
Van Gaal said: "In 30 years as a trainer-coach, I've never been charged. I do not think I said something wrong."
United won Tuesday's replay at Old Trafford 3-0 to set up a fifth-round tie at Preston North End.
After the game at the Abbey Stadium, Van Gaal told the BBC's Match of the Day: "Every aspect of a match is against us - the pitch, the referee."
He later repeated the accusation, adding: "You have seen the referee. It's always the same.
"Everywhere I have coached these games - and I have coached them also with other clubs - it's always the same."
The FA charge states that Van Gaal's words "allege and/or imply bias on the part of the match referee and/or bring the game into disrepute".
Van Gaa told reporters on Friday that he was not angry but very disappointed to have been charged.
United travel to West Ham on Sunday in the Premier League.
"I cannot imagine the FA has charged me. But, okay, it's like that. Of course I will contest it.
"I never said anything wrong. You can confirm, as the media, that I never say anything about the referee, in all the matches I have played."
"I represent the club nowadays as a manager and I represent my group of players. There was also a group of players who gave a lot of joy to the people at that time. I think they played a big part in the history of this club.
"I think we have to remember that always. We have made the right decision to be there, out of respect to the players and [Sir] Matt Busby."
"I said at the beginning of the week, before the game against Leicester, that this shall be an important week, that we had to win all three matches.
"We beat Leicester to go third, after that we beat Cambridge, so we are in the next round of the FA Cup. Now we have to continue."


Tributes have been paid to a man and woman who died in a multi-vehicle crash on the M3 in Hampshire.

The collision between three lorries and an Audi happened on the northbound carriageway near Winchester on 6 June.
Susan Curtis, 67, from Buckinghamshire, and Michael James, 77, from Dorset, who were travelling in the Audi, died.
A 63-year-old man interviewed under caution in connection with the crash has since been released while inquiries continue.
A statement, released by police on behalf of the family of Mr James, of Broadstone, said: "Suddenly and tragically Mike James was taken from us and leaves behind two sons and two grandchildren.
"Much loved and will be terribly missed by so many."
Police said the family of Ms Curtis, from Aylesbury, were releasing the picture of her and with her sons in her memory.
Two of the lorry drivers were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Police have appealed for witnesses who may have seen or captured the accident on a dashboard camera to contact them.


A man accused of murder is to remain on remand in prison, a judge has ruled.

Mohsin Bhatti, 29, was stabbed a number of times in the attack on 29 January. His body was found on Botanic Avenue in south Belfast.
Ahmed Noor, 32, was released from secure medical accommodation on Wednesday to be charged with murder.
He was initially detained under a Mental Health Order. The judge ruled he should remain at Maghaberry prison under the care of medical staff.
Mr Noor, who has an address at Agincourt Avenue but is originally from Somalia, first appeared at Belfast Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
He was then held overnight in an observation cell at Maghaberry Prison while a psychiatrist's report was prepared.
At a further hearing on Thursday, the court was told his mental health assessment has been completed and his state had improved within 36 hours of being admitted.
The judge was told he was classed as fit to be charged and could continue to be assessed by prison staff.
A defence lawyer raised concerns based on other medical opinion, but applied to have Mr Noor kept within the same area of the prison.
"It needs to be put on the record that he was charged only, and has not been interviewed in relation to these matters," he added.
The judge said the accused, who did not appear in court, should remain at Maghaberry under the care of its medical staff.
"Should there be any deterioration, I would expect they will take whatever steps they consider appropriate to ensure his wellbeing," she added.
Mr Noor was remanded in custody to appear again by videolink on 5 March.


The Scottish Football Association and the Scotland Women's national team have resolved their dispute over financial, commercial and equality matters.

Scotland Women are preparing to play in the Euro 2017 finals in the Netherlands but the players had refused to take part in media or promotional work.
A players' statement issued via PFA Scotland called it a "historic moment" on the way to "achieving equality".
The SFA said the agreement "contains commercial and operational elements".
The players' union statement said it was the first collective agreement between the women's national team and the SFA and was a "major step" towards parity with the men's game.
"As a team, and individuals, we are looking forward to working closely with the SFA to promote and develop women's football in Scotland and ensure we are all moving in the same direction," it said.
"The players fully accept we have a responsibility to perform to our best for our country on the pitch, but also to be the best role models we can off it.
"For many years we have worked hard to do so, especially at grassroots level where we are honoured to be asked to engage with young female players at every age and stage of the footballing pathway.
"We want to create a legacy to hand on to the next generation of female players and ensure there is a full and proper commitment by the governing body to promoting the women's game at grassroots and national level."

Scotland's female players, just like their male counterparts, do not receive a match fee. However, the home-based players receive a bursary to cover loss of earnings when they are preparing for the Euro finals. The players also receive daily allowances while they are with the national team.
The SFA indicated that the "international player agreement" affected the forthcoming Euro 2017 finals and the 2019 World Cup qualifiers.
The SFA statement said: "We are delighted that under head coach Anna Signeul the Scotland Women's National Team (SWNT) have qualified for their first ever major tournament finals.
"Since qualification was achieved, our priority has always been to ensure that the SWNT are fully prepared for next month's Uefa Women's Euro 2017 in the Netherlands. To this end, we have invested significantly into tournament preparation, including overseas trips and training camps.
"We look forward to supporting the SWNT in the Netherlands this summer and to using the team's participation in the Uefa Women's Championships 2017 as a springboard to generating increased interest in girls' and women's football in Scotland from players, coaches, sponsors and, of course, fans."


Scottish Borders Council is to receive £3.8m from the Scottish government to help deal with the damage caused by last year's storms.

The emergency funding will meet the majority of the costs incurred through storms which caused devastation in the area in December 2015 and January 2016.
The funding comes from the Bellwin Scheme, which gives special financial assistance to councils facing extra costs due to disasters or emergencies.
The council received £2.39m last year.
This was to help distribute funding to ensure that every household, business premises or charity directly affected by flood water received support.
More than 200 households and businesses received £1,500 grant payments, and 38 businesses received grants of £3,000.
Scottish government funding is also being made available to the council to take forward a flood protection scheme in Hawick, which was badly hit by flooding in December 2015.
Paul Wheelhouse, minister for business, innovation and energy, said: "There's no doubt that the Scottish Borders was among the areas hit the hardest by last year's flooding which is why this £3.8m of funding will be welcome news to the council and communities affected by the storms.
"I witnessed the effect of the flooding in Hawick during Storm Desmond and I know how traumatic it was for many here and in communities elsewhere in the Borders affected by the floods.
"This support through the Bellwin scheme will help Scottish Borders Council meet the majority of the immediate and unforeseen costs of the flood damage and supplements help to 200 households and many local businesses."
He added: "The Scottish government is committed to working to reduce flood risk across Scotland and has committed £420m over the next 10 years to protect homes in many of our most flood-prone areas including the future Hawick Flood Protection Scheme."
Councillor Gordon Edgar, Scottish Borders Council's executive member for roads and infrastructure, said: "I am delighted that the Scottish government has supported this council by releasing the full funding we applied for through the Bellwin scheme for the eligible costs we incurred during, and following, last winter's storms.
"The scale of the damage to the region's roads, buildings, parks, open spaces, footpaths and bridges was quite simply the biggest challenge we have ever had to date.
"Many of the repair works were challenging and time consuming and I would like to thank our staff for their efforts, and the public for their patience and understanding during what was an extremely difficult and challenging time for the Borders and the council."
He added: "In the 12 months since Storm Desmond, two flood schemes have been completed in the Scottish Borders and the Hawick scheme is getting closer to entering its next phase before construction. We welcome the continued support from the Scottish government on these projects too."


The Bishop of Gloucester has been interviewed by police investigating two allegations of indecent assault.

The Rt Rev Michael Perham announced on Friday he would "step-back" from his duties with immediate effect.
Police confirmed only that a 66-year-old man attended a police station in Gloucester on Tuesday but was not arrested.
The Diocese of Gloucester said it was a police matter and it would not be making any further comment.
The alleged offences, dating back to 1980 and 1981, relate to a child under the age of 18 and a woman over that age.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed its officers were investigating.
On Monday the Diocese of Gloucester said measures had been put in place for the Bishop of Tewkesbury, the Rt Rev Martyn Snow, to take up Bishop Perham's duties in his absence.
Bishop Perham is due to retire in November.
According to the diocese's website Bishop Perham "served on the Church of England Liturgical Commission from 1982 to 2001, being one of the principal architects of its Common Worship services".
"He is now a member of the House of Lords and of the House of Bishops' Standing Committee.
"He has been a strong advocate of the role of women in the church as priests and bishops."
A special service is due to take place on 8 November to celebrate his time as Bishop of Gloucester.


Mark Allen won four frames in a row to beat Shaun Murphy 6-4 and reach the final of the Players Championship in Manchester.

World number 10 Allen will now face Ricky Walden, who earlier defeated Barry Hawkins 6-3, on Sunday.
Allen's win prevented Murphy from securing back-to-back world-ranking titles following his victory in the World Grand Prix.
Northern Ireland's Allen, 30, will be looking to win a third ranking event.
Murphy led 2-0 and 4-2 but Allen made a break of 134 in the third frame on his way to repeating the 6-4 victory he enjoyed over the defending Masters champion in January.
Allen will also be hoping to avenge a defeat to Walden, who is ranked 11 in the world, in the final of the 2014 International Championship.


The New Saints have reached the Champions League second qualifying round after comfortably beating Tre Penne in San Marino.

They meet Apoel Nicosia of Cyprus in the second qualifying round.
Scott Quigley scored TNS' first with Aeron Edwards and Greg Draper's goals coming after the break.

Keira Knightley's Broadway debut as Therese Raquin has been met with a mix of critics' bemusement and praise.

Emile Zola's story of adultery and murder is notoriously dark and tempestuous but many critics seem to have suffered an attack of hilarity.
Though most feel Knightley puts on a brave show, the staging of the Helen Edmundson script is described as "giggly" by more than one reviewer.
Gabriel Ebert and Matt Ryan also star in the play at Studio 54 until January.
In Zola's 1867 story, bored housewife Therese begins an obsessive affair with her drippy husband Camille's best friend, leading to catastrophe and a descent into madness.
According to Variety, however, members of the audience should be excused if they find they want to laugh at the "histrionic staging" of the first act.
Gabriel Ebert, who won a Tony for his music-hall turn as Mr Wormwood in Matilda, is "goofy" as  Camille in the Roundabout company's production, says Variety.
And Knightley "like a kindergarten teacher who has spent too much time romping with the kiddies... infected with the same stupid-bug".
But by the end of the production, reviewer Marilyn Stasio is won over as the second half redeems the first, concluding that "Knightley and Ryan are ravishing - and articulate - as these fierce bourgeois Macbeths, undone by their own greed and passion".
Alexis Soloski of the Guardian is of much the same opinion as Stasio, saying "something has gone wrong with the Roundabout's lugubrious and giggly adaptation".
Though acknowledging that Knightley can do much better as a stage actress, based on her two previous West End outings in The Misanthrope and the Children's Hour, Soloski says she is "oddly flat" in this production.
But concludes, the actress is "charismatic for all her lack of effect".
According to Jesse Green of Vulture magazine the production "suffers from a typical case of adaptation sickness".
Though "the set-ups are lovely", the play ultimately labours under a "hasty glut", says Green.
The Hollywood Reporter offers a kinder analysis of Therese Raquin, and Knightley in particular.
It describes her performance as "bristling" and that she displays a "tremulous commitment that prevents you from taking your eyes off her".
In conclusion, it says the production would have benefitted from "restraint" to keep it "anchored in reality rather than melodrama" and tighter - its running time is  two-and-a-half hours.
But ultimately it  "provides a feast for the eyes".


Confirmation that bodies found in a bog were Disappeared victims Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright is "bittersweet news", the McKee family has said.

Their remains were found in a single grave in Coghalstown, County Meath, in the Republic of Ireland in June.
Mr McKee's sisters said they were glad that 43 years after his death they can bury him with their mother.
The Disappeared are victims murdered and secretly buried by republicans during the Northern Ireland conflict.
Kevin McKee and Seamus Wright were both IRA members who were abducted and murdered by the organisation in 1972.
Their bodies were found unexpectedly during a search for another of the Disappeared, Joe Lynskey.
After the official identification, Mr McKee's sisters, Maria and Philomena, told the BBC: "It is bittersweet news that our brother's remains have been identified.
"The news has hit us with the shock of reality, even though we were expecting it.
"We are so so glad that, after 43 years, he will now be buried with our mother who never recovered from his disappearance."
Over the past 16 years, the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains (ICLVR) has searched for 16 people who were officially listed as the Disappeared.
The remains of 12 of the victims have been recovered and formally identified to date.
In a joint statement, ICLVR commissioners, Sir Ken Bloomfield and Frank Murphy, said they had received the results from DNA samples.
"The results positively indicate that the remains are those of Seamus Wright and Kevin McKee," the statement said.
"Dr Brian Farrell, coroner for the City of Dublin, has accepted this as evidence of identification and will shortly authorise the release of the remains to the families."
Sinn FÃ©in leader Gerry Adams said the news would "bring an end to the uncertainty for the McKee and Wright families".
"I want to appeal again for anyone with any information on those remains still not found to bring that information forward to the families, to the commission or myself," he said.


Instagram has told Newsbeat it has the potential to "change the world" as it announced it has overtaken Twitter with 300 million users.

The company's CEO Kevin Systrom described the milestone as "exciting" and said the company would "continue to grow".
Twitter claims to have 284 million users accessing the network each month.
Facebook, which boasts 1.35 billion monthly active users, bought Instagram in 2012.
Speaking to Newsbeat ahead of the announcement, Kevin Systrom said: "Instagram is about seeing a live pulse of the world right now, it's not just about taking a photo of a cute baby or a cute dog."
Instagram is also introducing verified accounts similar to the blue tick symbols used by Facebook and Twitter.
Newsbeat understands regular users who have been impersonated could be verified, alongside celebrities, sports stars and brands.
"We want to be all about authentic users and you making sure that you know you're following real people not bots, not spam accounts, not fake accounts." Mr Systrom added.
In an attempt to get rid of fake accounts or those breaking the company's rules, Instagram said it is deleting "spammy" accounts.
The company has warned that some users may find they have fewer followers as a result.
Instagram's co-founder hinted the company would soon be adding new features based around specific events.
"You're literally getting a view of what's happening in the world right now.
"What we need to do is figure out how to take the fact that everyone's contributing in the world and broadcast that more globally.
"If you're interested in what's happening at the World Cup, you can peer in, see the football players and see what they're thinking and doing before they go onto the field.
"Those are the types of things that I want to enable over the next year."
Since it was set up by co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger in October 2010, Instagram has grown rapidly.
In February 2013, the company announced it had reached 100 million active monthly users.
Recently Instagram introduced advertising, with "sponsored posts" allowing brands to reach the app's growing number of users.
"Early on I would review and approve every single ad before it went on," Kevin Systrom said.
Although some users were not happy about seeing adverts on Instagram, he said that adverts were needed to allow the company to grow and cope with its increasing size.
"The reason why we're doing this is as a growth engine for Instagram.
"When you get to 300m users it's not cheap to run that service and you need to make sure to be able to hire more people."
The company responded to Twitter's Vine app with a video-sharing feature of its own and introduced direct messaging to compete with rivals WhatsApp and Snapchat.
In June 2014 Instagram defended its rules on nudity as "fair" after criticism for removing photos of topless women.
Kevin Systrom told Newsbeat that Instagram's close relationship with Facebook had allowed it to learn from its mistakes.
"We're absolutely paying attention to the pitfalls companies have faced before and trying our best to avoid them."

The governor of Indiana has declared a public health emergency after an HIV outbreak "reached epidemic proportions" in part of the state.

Scott County, a poor area where needle-sharing by drug users is common, has seen 79 new cases in recent weeks - up from an annual average of five.
Governor Mike Pence has authorised health officials to implement a needle exchange programme - a remedy he has opposed in the past.
HIV is the virus that causes Aids.
"Scott County is facing an epidemic of HIV, but this is not a Scott County problem; this is an Indiana problem," the governor said.
"With additional state resources and new tools provided by this emergency declaration, I am confident that together we will stop this HIV outbreak in its tracks."
The outbreak was first identified in late January. Since then, officials have diagnosed 79 people with the life-threatening virus - up from 26 cases just one month ago.
State officials said the governor's emergency declaration provides additional resources for officials to coordinate a response to the "outbreak of HIV that has reached epidemic proportions".
State epidemiologist Pam Pontones said almost all of the cases originated from illegal drug users sharing syringes.
A large majority of the victims had shared a needle with an infected person while injecting Opana, a prescription painkiller.
Officials expect the number of infections to rise, and are working to contact as many as 100 other people linked to those with confirmed cases.
The order will authorise local health officials to create a temporary needle exchange programme under the supervision of the state health agency.
Mr Pence, a Republican, has opposed such programmes in the past on the grounds that they are not effective in controlling drug use.
Ed Clere, a member of the state's legislature and another Republican, said similar legislation was proposed last year but it became stalled in the state's Senate.
"Unfortunately we're back here, not just with needle exchange as a hypothetical theory, but with a real situation where a needle exchange could make a difference," he said.
Scott County is located about 30 miles (48km) north of Louisville, Kentucky.


Think of the words shadow banking, and you'll probably conjure up an image of a slick-suited, smooth-talking mafia-esque character who will most likely be found in seedy bars or night clubs.

But in China, sometimes it could be a 60-year-old woman running the show, and that may have serious consequences.
This week, state media reported that a clampdown on shadow banking in China uncovered $30bn (Â£23bn) worth of illegal banking activity. It may seem a staggering figure, but analysts say this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Michael Pettis from Peking University has described it as "the financial activity that exists outside the formal banking sector".
In its most basic form, it includes pawn-shops, the man on the street offering you ready credit at exorbitant rates, and attractive but risky investment schemes.
It also encompasses unregulated wealth management products offered by legitimate financial institutions.
But a substantial part of the sector also includes individuals or informal networks with no financial licence or regulation.
Informal lending has always existed in China's economy, but shadow banking really took off post the global financial crisis in 2008/2009.
These unregulated lenders offered alternative options for small and medium-sized businesses and real estate developers to get access to loans during what could have been a crippling credit crunch.
Chinese authorities turned a blind eye to them at the time, because they were arguably helping the economy to keep growing.
But as with many industries in China - such as the internet, for example - things only start getting regulated when they get very big and start getting noticed. And that's exactly what's happened with shadow banking.
Amongst those arrested in China recently as part of what has become an ongoing crackdown on illegal banking is a woman named only as Sun.
The Shanghai Daily says Mrs Sun is 60 years old, although other media outlets haven't said how old she is.
She reportedly led a local gang and provided shadow banking services to about 100 customers who wanted to buy real estate abroad or pay for their children's school fees in foreign countries.
Police reportedly said it was the largest illegal banking operation found in Shanghai in years.
And here's how it appears to have worked: Mrs Sun's customers sent her money transfers in Chinese yuan. She and her network of agents then transferred an equivalent amount in foreign currencies to their foreign accounts, or wherever else the money needed to go, through a remittance channel that operated outside the official banking networks.
The authorities suspect there could be many more such financial illusionists.
Because it is an unregulated industry, it's hard to say definitively who uses them, but it appears that Chinese companies, corrupt officials looking to move their money overseas, local governments interested in higher returns and the Chinese middle classes have all invested in the shadow banking sector.
Part of the problem is that if you're looking to grow your investments in China, there's not much you can do these days.
There aren't that many financial products the Chinese can invest in. Authorities are trying to develop China's financial sector, but it's still a relatively new and young market, and investors don't have that much financial knowledge yet.
So what options are you left with?
Well, the stock market - but it crashed last year, and although it's on its way up again, many investors have been burned.
The property sector - it also crashed, so people are understandably nervous. Plus you need a large amount of money to start investing, and it's an illiquid investment.
Saving your money in banks - interest rates have been cut frequently so you're not going to get very good returns.
So shadow banking which offers much higher returns is appealing - but it is risky, because it is unregulated.
Another compelling reason is that mainland residents can only change up to $50,000 worth of foreign currency per year, which makes it tricky if you're looking to fund a big purchase overseas.
And then there's the greed and envy factor. China's become a rich country in a pretty short space of time. And everyone wants to keep up with the Joneses.
You know how it goes. Your mate, let's call her Tina, gets a raise. She starts investing some of her savings. Then she takes you out for a drink and shows off her brand-new watch and tells you all about the holiday home she's buying - and the fantastic new investments scheme that's paying her some ridiculous return that's allowing her to do this.
And you get sucked in. That's how shadow banking can take off.
Chinese authorities are in the midst of a concerted effort to clamp down on individuals and organisations that are trying to take money out of the country, because of concerns over capital outflows and the weakening of the Chinese yuan.
But in turning a blind eye over the last decade, China has allowed the creation of a financial monster that many warn is out of control.
Moody's Investors Service says that the shadow banking system continues to expand rapidly, with assets held by these less regulated banks totalling some 78% of China's GDP.
And in its annual review of the Chinese economy, the International Monetary Fund recently said that almost half of the shadow banking products that have fuelled China's credit boom carry "an elevated risk of default".
Notwithstanding that China's economy is managed differently from that of other countries and that the government can step in and bail the sector out, if it comes to that, this is still very worrying.
This isn't just a problem for the Chinese authorities. It's a problem for the "gangster grannies", the doting grannies, China's middle classes and all the rest of us.
Because if China's credit boom can't be relied on, that means China's economic growth is at risk - and that's bad news for us all.


Amnesty International has accused the Philippine police of "systematically planning" extrajudicial killings in the controversial war against drugs.

The rights group also said in a report that the killings may constitute "crimes against humanity".
More than 7,000 have been killed since President Rodrigo Duterte launched his "war" on the drug trade in July.
He has always defended the crackdown, saying police were only authorised to open fire when threatened by suspects.
But on Monday, the president suspended it and ordered a "clean-up" of the police force following the murder of a South Korean businessman by a group of rogue anti-drug police officers.
There has been no government reaction to the Amnesty report, but the Philippine police have also consistently said those killed were resisting arrest.
Amnesty disputed this based on witness testimony and independent investigations, saying it was "deeply concerned that the deliberate and widespread killings of alleged drug offenders....appear to be systematic, planned and organised by the authorities".
"Police officers routinely bust down doors in the middle of the night and then kill in cold blood unarmed people suspected of using or selling drugs.
"In several cases documented by Amnesty International, witnesses described alleged drug offenders yelling they would surrender, at times while on their knees or in another compliant position. They were still gunned down."
Amnesty also said officers planted evidence and falsified reports to "cover their tracks".
The rights group said there appeared to be financial incentives for the killings, with one officer claiming they were given an "under the table" payment for each death, as well as payments from some funeral homes.
The rights group said the vast majority of those killed were poor and on "drug watch lists" prepared by government officials and shared with police.
It said the lists were "deeply problematic" and that names could be put on it "based on hearsay and community rumour or rivalry, with little to no verification".
The group spoke to 110 people for the report including witnesses of killings, victims' relatives, drug users, police officers, and members of government, civil society and religious groups.
Mr Duterte has come under heavy criticism from rights groups and Western countries for his hardline stance on drugs.
But the shocking and high-profile kidnap and murder of the South Korean businessman prompted Mr Duterte to admit that the police is "corrupt to the core" and he suspended the drug war with all anti-drug units dissolved and ordered a re-organisation of their ranks.
He has in the past sanctioned extra-judicial killings by the police, saying he would pardon them for such acts, and once said he would be "happy to slaughter" three million drug addicts.


The Girl on the Train has steamed ahead of its rivals to top the US box office on its opening weekend.

The thriller, starring Emily Blunt as an alcoholic trying to solve the mystery of a missing person, took $24.7m (£19.9m) - with 68% of the audience made up of women.
Last weeks's number one, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, made $15m (£12m) to take second place.
New entry The Birth of a Nation only made $7.1m (£5.7m).
The slave rebellion drama is written and directed by Nate Parker, who has faced recent media scrutiny over a historic rape trial and also stars in the film. It failed to make the top five in the North American box office.
On its opening night on Thursday, protesters held a silent vigil outside a Los Angeles cinema for victims of rape and sexual assault.
Recent media attention has been focused on Parker's acquittal for rape in 1999 and his accuser's subsequent suicide.
Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, said he was not sure how the controversy affected the film's performance.
"It's hard to know, but considering the initial promise of the movie and all the positive talk about the film and its Oscar prospects, you would have figured that it would do more business," he said.
The Girl on the Train, based on the Paula Hawkins novel, has had poor reviews - but Blunt's performance as central character Rachel, who observes the lives of others on her daily commute to Manhattan, has been praised.
Nick Carpou, president of domestic distribution for Universal, said the film's box office result was largely unaffected by Hurricane Matthew, which has hit parts of the US southeast.
There was another new entry in the top 10 for Middle School: The Worst Years of my Life, based on James Patterson's books about a prank-loving teenager.
It made $6.9 million (£5.6m).

The Stormont talks are being conducted in a "Stalinist way, behind closed doors" Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) leader Mike Nesbitt has claimed.

He said only the two biggest parties, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) and Sinn Féin, were involved in the talks.
He expressed concern a two-party deal would be financed by more borrowing.
But on Tuesday, DUP leader Peter Robinson said Mr Nesbitt "hasn't a clue what he's talking about, nor has he ever, when he's talking about numbers".
In response, the UUP leader told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme he was not going to get involved in a "slagging match" with Mr Robinson.
However, he said his own party, the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) and Alliance were being left out of talks.
"Anybody who thinks that this is still a negotiation between five parties and two governments at Stormont House is misinformed. It's now between the DUP and Sinn Féin who are in a lock-down in Stormont Castle," Mr Nesbitt said.
"People will have to decide, when the document is finally published, whether it is a legitimate concern of mine to say that the borrowing is at a level that we're mortgaging our children's future."
On Tuesday, Mr Nesbitt expressed concern the two-party deal could involve £0.5bn of extra borrowing powers for Stormont, which has been in crisis mode for months over its budget shortfall and welfare reform.
But the UUP leader admitted to Wednesday's programme that his concerns were based on "speculation" as he did not know the content of the latest negotiations between the DUP and Sinn Féin.
He said he was getting information via statements the Irish prime minister made to the media.
Alliance Party minister Stephen Farry said he did not think Mr Nesbitt had "any firm foundation" on which to base his comments about borrowing and was "making things up in that regard".
Mr Farry said Alliance was "involved in the process" but was waiting for papers from either the two governments or the two largest parties.
"Virtually every talks process comes down to, in essence, a major deal being done between the two largest parties, that's been the case even if you go back to the Good Friday Agreement," he added.
The DUP, Sinn Féin and the Irish government have all said they are "hopeful" that a deal to resolve Stormont's problems could be reached this week.


An Indian court has sentenced four men to death for the gang rape and murder of a student in the capital Delhi, a case which led to violent protests across India and new laws against rape.

Mukesh Singh, Vinay Sharma, Akshay Thakur and Pawan Gupta were found guilty on all counts earlier this week.
Judge Yogesh Khanna said the case fell in the "rarest of rare category", rejecting pleas for a lighter sentence.
The woman, 23, was attacked on a bus in December and died two weeks later.
By Sanjoy MajumderBBC News, Delhi
Throughout the day the crowd built up steadily outside the court.
Unprecedented security was in place with the road to the court barricaded by police. Inside riot police took up positions as the lawyers were escorted in.
As Judge Yogesh Khanna read out the sentence one of the defendants broke down.
As news of the sentence was relayed outside, the crowd broke into a cheer. "Justice, justice!" they chanted.  Others called for the juvenile to be hanged as well.
The parents of the victim - who were present in the courtroom - said they were satisfied with the verdict and justice had been served.
On Friday, Judge Khanna said the attack "shocked the collective conscience" of India, and that "courts cannot turn a blind eye" to such crimes.
"This case definitely falls in the rarest of rare categories and warrants the exemplary punishment of death," he added.
The men were convicted to death by hanging, and one of them, Vinay Sharma, broke down in tears as the verdict was announced.
The father of the victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said the family was satisfied with the ruling.
"We are very happy. Justice has been delivered," he said in the courtroom, according to the Associated Press news agency.
Earlier, protesters outside the court had demanded that the four men should be hanged.
As they were escorted to the courtroom, the four men shouted to the crowd: "Brothers, save us!"
They all deny the charges and can still appeal against the verdict to the Supreme Court and also ask the president for clemency - a process that could take years.

Does the sentence bring closure?
The defence lawyers argued during the trial that their clients had been tortured and some of their confessions - later retracted - had been coerced.
There was unprecedented police security in Delhi on Friday.
The road to the court was barricaded by police, and inside riot police took up positions as the lawyers were escorted in, the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder in the Indian capital reports.
In August, a teenager who was found guilty of taking part in the rape was sentenced to three years in a reform facility, the maximum term possible because the crime was committed when he was 17. He also denied all the charges.
Another suspect, Ram Singh, was found dead in his cell in March. Prison officials said they believed he hanged himself but his family allege he was murdered.

The December attack sparked a national debate on the treatment of women.
Tough new laws were introduced in March which allowed the death penalty - carried out very rarely in India - to be handed down in the most serious cases of rape.
Reacting to Friday's verdict, human rights groups said the death penalties would not end violence against women in India and that far-reaching reforms were needed to tackle the endemic problem.
"Sending these four men to the gallows will accomplish nothing except short-term revenge," said Tara Rao, Director of Amnesty International India.
"While the widespread anger over this case is understandable, authorities must avoid using the death penalty as a 'quick-fix' solution."
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch's South Asia director Meenakshi Ganguly told the BBC: "The punishment of perpetrators is important but equally working together as a society to keep women safe is much, much more important."


Jobs are safe at one of the largest car dealerships in the Channel Islands, according to the new owners.

The £41.7m sale of Jacksons CI to investment company Ravenscroft was completed on Friday after approval from the competition and finance regulators.
The deal includes the Jacksons and Motor Mall car showrooms in Jersey and Guernsey, Trinity Tyres in Jersey and St Martin's Tyres in Guernsey.
All 250 staff have been told their jobs are safe, said CEO Paul Collier.
The former managing director has taken on the role of chief executive officer following the sale.
He said they had "liaised closely with the 23 vehicle marques we represent to assure them that it is business as usual".
The previous owner, Tom Scott, has become a director of the firm.
The sale was subject to approval from the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority and the Jersey Financial Services Commission.


A rare coin made of gold seized from a treasure ship more than three centuries ago has sold for £225,000 at auction.

The seller from Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, had been given the Queen Anne Vigo five guinea by his grandfather when he was a boy.
The auctioneers said it was one of 20 made from 7.5lbs (3.4kg) of gold seized by the British in northern Spain on 23 October 1702.
Coin specialist Gregory Tong said it was a "record-breaking" sale.
The seller, who did not want to be named, said his grandfather would give him "bags of coins" collected from all over the world.
He said: "As time passed these coins were forgotten about until I rediscovered them after my granddad passed away.
"I looked back through the coins - remembering the stories I made up about them when I was small - and then gave them to my own son to play with and put into his own treasure box.
"My little boy has been playing with this coin as I did all those years ago."
Auctioneers Boningtons in Epping, Essex, said the Vigo coins were made after the British fleet failed to take Cadiz in 1702.
The fleet instead managed to seize gold and silver from Franco-Spanish treasure ships coming back from America.
The coins were made to detract attention from the British failure at Cadiz.
They were delivered with full pageantry through London and received at the Royal Mint by the Master of the Mint Sir Isaac Newton, the auctioneers said.
Mr Tong from Boningtons, said: "The coin is only the sixth example of its type to be offered for sale in the last 50 years.
"It has broken Boningtons' house record of £200,000 set by the sale of a painting by Sir Winston Churchill earlier this year."
