Overview
- Dylan Richardson is training as a hooker during the week but starting at openside flanker for Edinburgh on matchdays.
- He scored two tries in a 43-0 win over Benetton that delivered Edinburgh’s first URC victory after narrow losses to Zebre Parma and Munster.
- The 26-year-old has been reunited with coach Sean Everitt after a summer move from South Africa and has drawn praise for his work-rate.
- He has been named in Scotland’s 45-man squad for next month’s Tests against the USA, New Zealand, Argentina and Tonga, having six caps since his 2021 debut through paternal eligibility.
- Richardson says hybrid forwards are increasingly valuable in the modern game and cites Deon Fourie as an example.
