I wonder where this leaves Weir? Out of contract and second choice. Baggott presumably gone.

It appears Tovey played for Wales u20s against France u20s in 2008 so that would mean he's been Shinglered.
Far as I can see van der Walt has only played 106 minutes of Super Rugby over the past 2 seasons so it would seem like it's more a case of taking a punt on a guy with some talent and potential than signing a player who is going to walk straight into the first team.

Thanks disco, do you know if Tovey could use the 7s loophole (heard of it but not sure what it is)?
Right, but neither is Weir anymore, Tovey 1st choice without doubt surely. Will Weir be happy second fiddle at Edinburgh?

Sounds a bit fishy, but I'm sure there'll be a plaice for him...
