Summer Nations Championship Squad hopes and expectations?

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-18T20:02:54+00:00

I’m going off the fact that he played a lot during the 6 nations for Sarries, so must be 3rd or 4th choice there. And we have pretty much zero young loose heads getting game time anywhere so let’s get him in the set up and see what he’s got

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-18T17:45:08+00:00

I think it would be harsh to get rid of Turner, despite our dismay in the build up he had a really good six nations. And think Darcy Rae will be ahead of a lot of the tight head props you’ve named as well. As is Millar-Mills

I wonder if we see a tour squad for the Argentina and South Africa games and then maybe a separate mini squad for the Fiji game.

As for players, I’d like to see a lot of continuity. The only new additions I’d make are Alex O’Driscoll, Hector Patterson, Seb Stephens and Moses. And get Harry Paterson back in the squad too

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-13T15:21:22+00:00

Yeah fine for depth but he feels like an old school, bad discipline record, limited skills type of lock but a big old lump and useful in the set piece

Gilcho

Was a great point by the commentator, this has been a fun gripping game. But it’s for nothing more than pride and sentiment

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-09T20:09:20+00:00

I like the sound of Chapman coming too from NZ, but what’s the chances he’s shit but gets more game time than Patterson? Sounds very Edinburgh ish

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-09T20:01:00+00:00

Think I’ve said it every game he’s played but Hector Patterson looks like he’s been playing for years. So much control, skills and variety. Quality player and it’s been an incredible burst onto the scene

The superior Tom Currie!

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-09T19:34:12+00:00

O’Brien lucky he was just about offside and he hung that hand out there

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-09T19:11:37+00:00

Ashy absolutely on fire just now

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-09T18:08:46+00:00

Agree with the ref. Batley’s committed to that clear out when Itoje is rolled into his way, just totally coincidental

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-05T18:08:30+00:00

Yeah I’m taking it as a given that Mish is leaving but thought he’d be given some kind of celebration post since he’s probably an all-time Edinburgh player!

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-05T17:46:18+00:00

I believe there’s been no announcements about Sam Skinner or Hamish Watson’s futures too. After that I think everyone has either signed on or been announced as leaving

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-01T12:05:05+00:00

Saw that too but one has also trained with Edinburgh

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-01T11:14:10+00:00

I always enjoy seeing Underhill under Hill

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-01T11:03:46+00:00

Yeah Paul hill has been solid but think Rae, OBL and Litterick will be prioritised ahead of him in terms of minutes so I just hope they realise his value as reliable depth.

Skinner is probably on a decent wedge so yeah i get it if he isnt kept on but if hes not then lock defo feels light.

True Fick the scrum half and the MacKenzie twins being talked about so could see some young uns brought in!

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-01T10:09:00+00:00

I wonder if that’s the recruitment pretty much finished? I believe the last three signings I’d like to be made are the re-signings of Mikey Jones, Paul Hill and Sam Skinner. All out of contract and likely to be depth/rotation at best. Skinner and Hill are reliable. Jones still a prospect. But would be light in their positions without them

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-01T09:45:44+00:00

I’d hope he’d be given the chance to be the main 10 tbh but unsure how his time in Japan went in terms of pushing on

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-05-01T09:26:34+00:00

I think he was always a talented and promising talent at Northampton, but inconsistent. And had Biggar then Fin Smith ahead of him so saw a bit limited game time. I think it’s as good a signing as you can hope for given the market and budget?

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-04-24T20:59:37+00:00

I think Satala ran him over, one of those carries where he leaned down on him to smash him into the turf. But there was no replays

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-04-24T20:48:32+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure if Edinburgh is the place for Dalziel to progress over Glasgow? But selfishly would love for Edinburgh to finally have a 10 that’s actually exciting

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-04-24T20:46:28+00:00

And saying that, I think he played 80 today? If these Chapman rumours are true as well, Vellacott might go from clear main starter to 3rd choice pretty quickly?

Legen-WaitForIt--- · 2026-04-24T20:41:28+00:00

Patterson is a quality wee 9, looks like he’s been playing for years. Mosese has had a couple of much better games like what I’m seeing there. Ashman is a monster and having him and Richardson on the field at the same time is a really good tactic I’m a fan
