Edinburgh Rugby Squad 2021-22

[The Feral Goat]

If anyone has some spare time I recommend the Watsonians Ayr game on Freesports. Currie and Muncaster are dominating a second string bulls team.

Caught the highlights looks like Currie has added quite a few kgs without losing any of his pace, hope he gets decent game time at ER this season, proper talent.

Yes, once he's match fit I would hope he is ahead of JJ for a slot in the 23.

Watched as suggested .Currie Looked good but it was a somewhat weakened Ayr team so hard to judge but definitely an exciting prospect for the future and the best so far of our younger group as I have yet to see Blain or Savala offer anything beyond the ordinary.

Patrick Harrison off to Wasps on a "short term deal"

Not listed as a loan, good for him but would be a shame if we have lost him, looks a decent prospect.

Wasps have 2 very very good young hookers. Ohgre and Barbeary. Always in or around match day squads
The latter is a 21 yo bulldozer quick enough and big enough to play no8 (and has), a bit of a freak TBH. The former is 23 was in Jones squad a few weeks back, again a terrific player.
Barbeary has a long term injury, Ohgre got more game time due to Barbeary's injury, but is now on a 3 week suspension

Looks very much like short term cover for Wasps

Think they have a bit of an injury crisis at the moment, and one of their hookers just got a 3(?) match ban, so might be a very short loan just to cover this period. Fantastic opportunity for him to get some more game time, he could be a massive player for us and Scotland soon given the ages of our current hookers.

Given there is a four week break in the URC or the Autumn Tests starting after next weekend he might not miss much up here anyway.If it is say a two month deal he'd be back by mid December. Great opportunity for him.

I agree. It was disappointing he didn't get in the Melrose team. Super 6 teams academy players should be allocated on need as Melrose have two of the best hookers in the comp.

Tweet issued by ER confirming it is a Loan

Harrison on bench for Wasps v Exeter tomorrow

[Friday Knight Lights]

Ben Muncaster and Jordan Venter were great for Sonians yesterday. Hopefully they're allowed to play rugby between now and next super6!

Mallinder mentioned after the Super 6 final that both Edinburgh and Glasgow are looking at Tom Jordan.

I thought he was already training with Glasgow, or had been?

It'll be interesting to see which players from this season of Super 6 make it onto the pro teams' books. Think there is a few candidates for Scotland 7s when that gets going again as well.

Have enjoyed catching some of the Super 6 and would cautiously endorse it as a step in the right direction subject to the realities of club economics. The signing of a of Bofelli is of course exciting but who does he displace ? Taking Saturday’s backline it would have been Hoyland , Immelmann , Bennett or JJ and or Currie off the bench ! We have to be careful we don't overstock and block opportunities for other good players and emerging native talent.

He did last season, not so far this.
