Blade Thompson also plays that hybrid role of a lock/6/8, he's played those positions in Super Rugby and for the Maori ABs. Lock will be a competitive position, Scott Cummings showed very good carrying form in the latter stages of the season.
As things stand I think Gilcho, Gray, and probably Cummings are on the plane, with Toolis scrapping it out with Skinner and Thompson for the other seat, but it's all up for grabs in the four games we have against France and Georgia.
I had forgotten about Kwagga Smith coning to Edinburgh, I thought it was more than a rumour though, it was reported as being a done deal as long as he doesn't get selected for the world cup.

Stage 3 academy announced - interestingly no Jack Blain... Pro deal already like Kinghorn and Ritchie?

He's listed as a squad member on the Edinburgh site right enough

Others released are Steyn, Grigg and Graham

Little bit surprised about Steyn.
