The Edinburgh Rugby squad will depart for London this weekend for a week-long pre-season training camp.
The team will be based at the Lensbury in Teddington as part of its preparations for the 2025/26 season.
The camp will see the return of the club’s Scotland internationals, who will link up with the squad after a well-deserved break following the national team’s summer tour.
Head Coach Sean Everitt expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming trip, highlighting its importance for team cohesion and performance.
“Getting the full squad together in one environment is crucial for us, both from a performance and an off-field team building perspective,” Everitt said.
“This camp gives us an excellent opportunity to focus solely on our preparations without the usual day-to-day distractions. Being together at the Lensbury will strengthen our bonds and help us build a strong team culture as we head into a new season.”
Everitt also spoke about the return of the Scotland internationals, noting their value to the squad.
“It’s great to have our Scotland internationals back with us. They’ve had a good break after a tough summer tour, and their quality and experience will be a huge boost to the squad,” he added.
“Their return only adds to the excitement as anticipation builds for the new campaign. We’re all looking forward to getting to work together and hitting the ground running.”
Edinburgh Rugby’s summer off-season preparations will continue with a series of pre-season fixtures next month.
The capital side will travel to face Ulster [A] before a double-header at Hive Stadium against Doncaster Knights and Ealing Trailfinders with tickets on sale HERE.
