Interesting that Hoyland is at FB and Fife on the wing. Thought it would be the other way around.

Tom Brown seems to have had a reprieve of some sort. Might be on a "non-contract" basis, if such a thing is still allowed.

I assume he'll be in this year's Sevens squad.

Ally Miller's status as an Edinburgh player seems to change often.

This is a bit worrying;

Unavailable due to injury: Cameron Fenton, Michael Willemse, Mesu Kunavula, Lewis Carmichael, Rory Darge, Duhan van der Merwe


Willemse being injured explains the U20s laddie Ashman coming in from Sale, but Fenton has been out long term. Likewise Carmichael, I was really hoping to see him back.

I hope no one is seriously injured

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that!
