This week our mascot, Flinty McStag talks us through what makes him tick in our popular series, Favourite XV. Take the stag by the antlers and get involved, by clicking on the link below.

Remember Edinburgh are back in action on Sunday 18 April, kick off 5.05pm when we travel down to face Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade. With three matches of the regular season remaining, every tackle counts and it is important that we beat our 'bogey' side in order to ensure we qualify for the play-offs. Can we make it to this season's Magners League Grand Final? Stick with edinburghrugby.org every step of the way and ensure you stay on the ball.
