Edinburgh Rugby has welcomed its remaining Scotland internationalists back to the capital for the final block of pre-season training.

Pierre Schoeman, Duhan van der Merwe, Jamie Ritchie, Ben Healy, Ewan Ashman and Luke Crosbie rejoined their teammates earlier today as the club ramps up preparations for the upcoming season.

These players enjoyed an extended summer break after featuring for Scotland at both the Rugby World Cup and the recent summer tour to the Americas.

“Their experience and quality are invaluable to our squad, and their return will undoubtedly boost our preparations for the new season which is now only weeks away.”
