There was reported interest from @racing92 but Hamish Watson has committed his future to @EdinburghRugby

???? “I love playing for Edinburgh. It means so much to me and, like I said last time round, I can’t see myself in another team’s jersey,” he said

Hamish Watson re-signing is magnificent news for Edinburgh. He’s been in big demand on several occasions when up for renewal. A consistently class act for club and country

Retaining Hamish Watson in his prime years is a tremendous fillip for Edinburgh, particularly since he has long been admired in England and France. Few back-rows have his skill-set or influence.

Edinburgh convincing Hamish Watson to stay is a great bit of business and speaks to the forward culture they have built that he wants to stick around. Must have had to beat off suitors with a stick.
