Edinburgh Rugby ‘A’ are back in action this Friday night, taking on Doncaster Knights in a friendly at Castle Park (15 December, kick-off 7.30pm).

Led by a coaching team of club centurions Ben Cairns and Ross Ford, the ‘A’ side will see a mix of academy and senior players travel south to face the English Championship side, and follows on from the ‘A’ team’s participation in last season’s FOSROC Super Series competition.

Tickets for the fixture at Castle Park are available via Doncaster Knight’s official website HERE.

The Edinburgh Rugby ‘A’ team to face Doncaster Knights will be shared on Friday afternoon following a midday team announcement for Saturday’s EPCR Challenge Cup clash against Castres Olympique at Hive Stadium.
