Edinburgh fill European squad places with new recruit at tighthead prop
Euan McLaren joins the capital club on a short-term deal and has been registered in the European squad in place of Dan Gamble, who moved to London Irish last week on a short-term loan.
McLaren will go into the selection pool for the squad to play against French side CA Brive on Friday night with Blair seeking a response to his side’s EPCR Challenge Cup defeat to London Irish last weekend. “Frustrated” Blair had questioned his side’s physicality. “Part of that is mindset,” he told the club’s website, “so I’m really looking forward to seeing the reaction.”
