New Edinburgh deal for Lion Dell
By Jack Davies
Allan Dell has extended his contract at Edinburgh until 2019 after making his debut for the British and Irish Lions last Tuesday.
Prop Dell was drafted into the Lions squad as one of Warren Gatland's controversial late call-ups, having been involved in Scotland's victories over Italy and Australia.
He made his Lions bow as a temporary replacement in the 34-6 triumph over the Chiefs and has now earned an extended stay at New Myreside, while lock Anton Bresler has also signed a new deal.
"I've been impressed with Allan's performances for Scotland on their summer tour and it was pleasing to see him make an impact when he appeared for the Lions off the bench against the Chiefs," said new Edinburgh head coach Richard Cockerill.
"Anton is a physical player and has been a key player for Edinburgh in recent seasons.
"Both Allan and Anton are experienced professionals, so I'm looking for both of them to really push our young players on and help set the standard for Edinburgh going forward."

James O'Connor comments are correct. Having been to the trainings at CHCH 's Malvern Park, there trainings have been fast and furious . They have stepped up a gear on previous seasons. James looks sharp. As do all the new guys. Ethan Blackadder is in great nick. I believe he is going to have great 2025. Off the field a good guy. Same goes for guys like Dominic Gardiner, Cullen Grace, George Bower. As has been the case for the last few years, great seeing Ethan and Dominic following in the footsteps of there Dads Todd Blackadder and Angus Gardiner, who were big parts of the first title winning Crusader teams, Todd the captain.

Certainly makes eye contact, and it’s certainly reckless which means he’s facing anything between an 8 - 208 week ban. Which is quite a range!
