Both sides had the chance to book a home Round of 16 tie ahead of kick off, but it was Saracens who clinched the last all-important top-four place in Pool A thanks to finishing the game within seven points. Edinburgh now face a trip to Leicester Tigers in the Round of 16 in just over […]
The ground reached its 7,774 capacity earlier today, with no seating or terrace spaces remaining in DAM Health Stadium for this weekend’s Round 4 tie with the three-times European Champions. With everything to play for, and a home Round of 16 fixture up for grabs, a full capacity crowd will be on hand to roar on Mike Blair’s side who […]
Both players are once again fit (concussion) having completed the graduated return-to-play protocol this week and join fellow Scotland cap Ben Vellacott – who starts at scrum-half – in the only changes to the XV that claimed a bonus-point win against Castres Olympique last Sunday. Both sides have already secured their place in the knockout stages but head into Sunday’s contest knowing a win […]
Cherry, 32, celebrates his new deal having this week been named in the Scotland squad for the upcoming Guinness Six Nations Championship. The hooker – who joined the club from Stade Niçois ahead of the 2018/19 season – has been capped eight times by his country and crossed the whitewash in Sunday’s Heineken Champions Cup […]
Edinburgh co-captain Jamie Ritchie will once again lead his country, with Townsend selecting the back-row as captain of the squad. There is a heavy capital influence in the pack, with eight Edinburgh men named amongst the forwards. Props WP Nel and Pierre Schoeman, and hooker Dave Cherry are amongst the front rowers picked, while Grant […]
Limited spaces remain in the unreserved standing terraces behind each goal which are selling very fast, with supporters advised to purchase early this week to guarantee their spot at DAM Health Stadium, which is set to reach capacity well in advance of the game. Edinburgh have already qualified for the knockouts of the competition after […]
The 27-year-old South African full-back moves on following two years in the Scottish capital, having joined the club from Montpellier ahead of the 2021/22 season. Immelman – a product of Grey College and Free State Cheetahs – has so far made 23 appearances for the capital side, making his return from injury in Sunday’s Heineken Champions Cup victory […]
The visitors produced a resilient second half performance to keep the hosts scoreless, before running away with proceedings to win 21-34. The afternoon started in the worst possible manner, with four changes being made before a ball had been kicked. Luan de Bruin, Boan Venter, Paddy Harrison and Emiliano Boffelli were all sidelined through injury. […]
Crosbie has been at his combative best so far this campaign and continued the rich vein of form that saw him claim October’s award. The back-row was devastating against Saracens at StoneX Stadium, and put in typically industrious performances against Munster and Castres at DAM Health Stadium. The former Livingstone RFC and Currie Chieftans man […]
McCallum, 26, had been on a 10-day trial at Pro D2 side Montauban but makes the move back to the Scottish capital where he made 63 appearances during a five-year spell at his hometown club between 2016-2021. Capped three times for Scotland, McCallum will provide further cover in the Edinburgh front-row, with tighthead prop Angus […]
