Edinburgh make official their list of seven end-of-season leavers
By Liam Heagney
Thursday’s confirmation that Scott Steele has retired from playing at the age of 30 has been followed by Edinburgh making official their group of seven leavers exiting the Scottish URC franchise at the end of the season.
A hip injury kept scrum-half sidelined for the whole 2023/24 campaign and his name was the final addition to an exit list that had already contained the likes of the Bristol-bound Viliame Mata.
A statement read: “Edinburgh have confirmed the seven senior men’s players that will depart the club at the end of the season. WP Nel, Viliame Mata, Charlie Savala, Luan de Bruin, Adam McBurney, Jamie Campbell, and Scott Steele will all leave at the end of the current campaign.
“Mata (Bristol Bears), Savala (Northampton Saints), de Bruin (Newcastle Falcons), and McBurney (Connacht) all join new clubs, while Steele announced earlier on Thursday his decision to retire from rugby at the end of the season.
“Double centurion Nel confirmed that he will hang up his boots at the end of the season in March, while Campbell is set to pursue playing opportunities outside of the UK this summer.”
Head coach Sean Everitt said: “I would like to thank all of our departing players for their contributions to Edinburgh during their time at the club. They have all been a valuable part of the squad and I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
“We are grateful for the effort and commitment these players have shown throughout their time at Edinburgh. They have all played a role in the team’s success and we’ll miss them around the club dearly because of what they brought as individuals and players.
“On behalf of everyone at Edinburgh, I’d like to thank our seven departing players for their hard work and dedication. They have all been a pleasure to work with and will still have big roles to play as we aim to finish the season on a high note.”

Two 40 year old coaches, two 50 year old coaches and two 60 year old coaches can all have vastly different levels of experience. That should be idiot-proof. If you still can’t understand how or why age and experience are NOT conflated, then that’s entirely on you.
You could perhaps google the term paradox?

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
