Edinburgh's new recruit Esteban Lozada arrived in the capital on Wednesday. The Argentina lock, who previously played for Toulon, was greeted at Edinburgh airport by head coach Rob Moffat and taken to Murrayfield for the grand tour. Lozada told
www.edinburghrugby.org : "I'm thrilled to be here and can't wait to get to work. It's great to be joining Edinburgh because the club is growing all the time and so is the Magners League. This is going to be a wonderful team to play for, and a beautiful city to live in."

Lozada said: "I have already played with a lot of top-class players in my career, but I am excited about the quality of individual Edinburgh have in their squad. It will be a fascinating season."
