B&R RADIO: SMITH EYES KEY BATTLES WITH FAMILIAR FOE

[EdinburghHQ]

Edinburgh Rugby forwards’ coach Tom Smith today welcomed the club’s opening Heineken cup encounter which sees the capital club line up against a familiar foe.

Following on from Saturday’s 22-11 win away over Treviso at the Stadio Monigo, the capital club take to the road once more against London Irish at the Madejski Stadium in round one of European rugby’s premiere competition.

The former Scotland and British Lions great has 63 Heineken and Amlin Challenge Cup appearances to his name, as well as a Challenge Cup winner’s medal from his last season at Northampton Saints in 2009, before he joined Edinburgh Rugby as coach.

Smith is once again relishing the prospect of locking horns with London Irish following eight seasons propping at Franklin’s Gardens in the English Premiership.
