On the Flank: Edinburgh Seek Dutch of Class in Newcastle's 6ft 5in Winger

WITH Sean Lamont due to play his rugby in west Wales for the Scarlets next season, Edinburgh now have their sights set on the Falcons' Dutch winger Tim Visser who has played 21 times and scored five tries for Newcastle this season. He is quick, boasts good footwork and is 6ft 5in which would certainly give Andy Robinson the sort of physical impact he is looking for in the back three. Visser could be the new Jonah....No! Don't even think about it. In other news last week Gloucester released Scottish prop David Young, who is also expected to sign for Edinburgh.

IF ANDY Robinson is the favourite to replace Frank Hadden the problem remains of what to do with Mike Brewer. The uncompromising Scotland forwards coach is already rumoured to have had more than one stand-up row with Robinson and if the latter gets the gig he is unlikely to want Brewer sitting beside him. Presuming the former All Black misses out on the top job it appears that he may well be handed the reins at Edinburgh. Stand back and watch the sparks fly.
