WP Nel appointed forwards coach at Stirling County. Hopefully the first step on the ladder . . . .

According to Neil Fissler in RugbyPass, I have done WP a disservice - he is apparently player coach. And Fissler also mentions Stirling County being interested in Dave Ewers and Anton Bresler. Seems a touch optimistic !

Jacob Henry is lining up for Highland in Nat 2 today, returning to his original club. I’m assuming that he hasn’t picked up a pro contract anywhere after his spell at Coventry.

Looks like Mark Bennet was at the picnic on the pitch today along with other players.

Maybe staying on for another year?

Or maybe just blagging some free food while he still can

Boff...

Former Edinburgh Rugby star Emiliano Boffelli has made his return to rugby after suffering an injury nightmare in recent years.

The 30-year-old, who left the capital side in the summer, is now back in his homeland of Argentina and returned to his boyhood club Duendes at the weekend.

Boffelli has taken to Instagram to share a series of pictures of him playing for the team 10 years ago, and then present day, where he made a cameo appearance as he steps up his return from a back injury.

Good to see him back playing, he has been so unfortunate with injuries.

Even more excitign news is we are being linked with Ben White, woudl be a massive signing for us and we are very light at 9 currently.

Ali Price looked to be playing well for Motpellier the other night.

Ben White would be a huge signing and a huge addition to the squad. Price was excellent behind a dominant pack for Montpellier, my MOTM.

[dolf_lundgren]

Totally agree, Ali Price was a big part of the upturn towards the end of last season, White would be an upgrade again.

I would be surprised we could compete with others who woudl want him, but possibly depends on what he is looking for and if he wants to come home.

Interestingly Steve Diamond talking about Newcastle making a few signings now, but a lot of very good internationals out of contract next summer. So Ben White will have options.

Ben White - Prop? Based purely on where he appears on the replacements list

Looking forward to chanting “there’s only 2 Ben Whites….”

WP now also coaching at Glenalmond College - hopefully some hefty kids there for him to start a prop production line !
