Good to hear. He looks like a great acquisition and a handy guy to have a round in the international windows. Notwithstanding that, it's unusual to go into a season with 5 LH props (4 of them Scottish internationals), plus McCallum who covers both sides. Does make you wonder about whether Dicko is expected to make it back. Don't recall seeing him on any of the pre-season training footage that has been released.
Actually I seem to remember nine props bing a pretty standard number for us in the squad the last few years.
Really? 8 last year - Dickinson, Dell, Marfo (late addition to squad), Sutherland, Nel, Berghan, McCallum & Bryce (Rizzo, Sheilds and Miller Mills taken in on loan and mid season to cover for the great Edinburgh Prop Crisis)
Same the Year before - Dickinson, Dell, Sutherland, Cosgrove, Nel, Berghan, Bryce, Beavon (again, a late addition)
Bill Mata. The second coming?
