GET WITH THE PROGRAMME

Available to buy for just £3, Edinburgh Rugby Club’s match programme returns this weekend and it is bursting with features and interviews.

Ross Ford took some time out from preparing for the visit of Stade Francais to look back at his achievements in 2009; including his Test appearance for the Lions in South Africa.

We track down the team that famously sent Toulouse home to think again in 2003 and current captain Mike Blair gives us some insight as to how the battle was won at Meadowbank.

There is also a feature on former favourite Hugo Southwell as the swashbuckling full-back returns to Murrayfield for the first time since swapping Auld Reekie for Paris. Southwell chats about playing scrum-half, life in the French capital and gives us his verdict on which team has produced the best calendar for 2010.

Top-class rugby returns to EH12 on Saturday when Parisian aristocrats Stade Francais are in town (23 January, kick off 3.45pm). For tickets please call 0131 346 5180.
