So Fowles is dropped because he was jamesmatthew last week. My concern is we see too much of that from him, and Cockerill does not sound as if there is another 9 on the cards. Edinburgh really need the other 9s to step up.

We know they've been looking at SH, so maybe they're waiting to get Champions Cup revenue (and higher league placing prize money) before jumping in. I hope so, because going into next season with Shiel for SHC and Fowles / Kennedy doesn't look good enough to me. In Cockers we trust...

I believe he is still in contract, and if so I doubt we would by it out.
I have always liked him when I've seen him, but there is clearly a reason he only has a single cap as a sub. think he has the similar strengths and weaknesses as SHC - very quick (quicker than SHC over distance) but service isn't reliable
