.... is retiring from Scotland 7s and rugby.

It looks like he is looking to stay in the game in some capacity, though, which is good.

shame, been a bit of a resurrection and revelation in the 7s these last couple of seasons, hoped he could do a couple more. Good luck to him

I don't think the wages are very good for 7s guys, which is fine for the youngsters or if they have the carrot of a pro contract, but for the like sof Robertson its not all that attractive, add in if he has family then he will not see much of them.

We could do worse than Robertson at Edinburgh as a utility back, could certainly cover wing and FB, I don't think he would be any worse than Allen or Scholes.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kennedy spent a bit of time with the 7s next year to add a bit of experience to the squad. MIght not do him any harm a la Jones a couple of years ago. Seemed to help Bryce this year too.

Robertson signs off with a successful defence of the London 7s title.

Made all the sweeter by beating England in the final :lol:
