Edinburgh have signed former Sale Sharks back-row Cameron Neild on a short-term deal.

The 28-year-old has been recruited with immediate effect after number eight Ben Muncaster was ruled out until mid-October due to a knee injury sustained in training.

With Scotland trio Jamie Ritchie, Hamish Watson and Luke Crosbie and Fijian number eight Bill Mata also unavailable due to the upcoming Rugby World Cup, Edinburgh’s recently-appointed senior coach Sean Everitt is delighted to have brought Neild to the Hive Stadium ahead of the new United Rugby Championship campaign, which gets under way in October.

“With so many back-row players unavailable due to the Rugby World Cup, and now with Ben’s unfortunate injury, we felt it was vital to bring in an experienced campaigner who could hit the ground running,” Everitt told the Edinburgh website.

“With over a century of appearances for Sale Sharks, Cameron has clocked up a lot of rugby for someone still relatively young.

“He’ll be an excellent addition to the squad on a short-term deal, providing cover and supplementing our talented back-row group.”

After ending his long association with Sale last summer, Neild started last season with Worcester and then joined Glasgow in November following the English club’s financial implosion last autumn.

Rassie Erasmus wades into heated debate over Jaden Hendrikse antics

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I’ll go with one more because it’s so funny but then I must stop. There’s only so long you can talk to the nutter on the bus.

There is no legal impediment in the GFA to ANY form of border. It’s mentioned very briefly and ambiguously but even then there’s a caveat ‘if the security situation permits’ which is decided by the British government as the border is an internationally, UN recognised formal border between sovereign states. Now, you can argue that this is because it was assumed it would always be in the EU context - but we all know the issue with ‘assumption’. As to your hilarious drivel about what you think is in the GFA, you clearly haven’t read it or at best not understood it. There are still 1,580 British Army troops in NI. The legal status of NI as part of the UK is unchanged.

So, there was a problem for those that wanted to use the border to complicate any future British government changing regulations and trade arrangements through domestic legislation. Hence ‘hard border’ became ANYTHING that wasn’t a totally open border.

This allowed the EU and their fanatical Remainer British counterparts to imply that any form of administration AT the border was a ‘hard border.’ Soldiers with machine guns? Hard border. Old bloke with clipboard checking the load of every 200th lorry? Hard border. Anything in between? Hard Border. They could then use Gerry’s implicit threats to any ‘border officials’ to ensure that there would be an unique arrangement so that if any future parliament tried to change trade or administrative regulations for any part of the UK (which the EU was very worried about) some fanatical Remainer MP could stand up and say - ‘this complicates the situation in NI.’

You’ve just had a free lesson in the complex politics that went WAY over your head at the time. You’re welcome.

Now, I must slowly back out of the room, and bid you good day, as you’re clearly a nutter.
