Edinburgh interim coach Nick Scrivener is determined to bow out on a high note before making way for new coach Michael Bradley. The Daily Telegraph's Alasdair Reid reports.
"Scrivener is set to return to his native Australia – and, if rumours are to be believed, to a coaching position with ACT Brumbies – next week, bringing to an end his two-year association with the Scottish club.
"There will be farewells, too, for Scott MacLeod, the Scotland lock who is moving to Japan to join Kobe Steelers, and David Blair, the fly-half who is retiring from rugby to concentrate on a career in teaching. As well as which, a handful of players have yet to re-sign for Edinburgh and will take the field in the knowledge that they could be playing their last games for the capital side.
"Edinburgh currently hold eighth place in the Magners table, but a bonus-point victory could lever them ahead of the Dragons, who host Ulster, who will be looking to strengthen their play-off slot position, at Rodney Parade. It would be easy to dismiss the Treviso game as a meaningless mid-table encounter, but Scrivener stressed his wish to leave the club on a high note."
