Transfer News: Edinburgh Rugby confirm four players to leave at end of season

Edinburgh have confirmed that four players – including three Scotland internationals – will leave the club at the end of the season.

Back-row Cornell du Preez, scrum-half Sam Hidalgo-Clyne and stand-off Duncan Weir will all depart in the summer, along with former Wales Under-20 stand-off Jason Tovey.

Head coach Richard Cockerill said: “You have to make good decisions, which sometimes can seem a bit tough because of what you’re paid to do, in getting the best team out on the field.

“The squad next season will be smaller but it’ll be of better quality.”
