Scotland prop Dickinson retires to take up academy coaching role
By Ben Spratt
Scotland prop Alasdair Dickinson has announced his retirement from rugby union.
The 34-year-old went to three World Cups and won 58 caps for his country, last playing in 2016, while he enjoyed two spells with Edinburgh Rugby at club level and also featured in the Premiership for Gloucester and Sale Sharks.
Dickinson has called time on his playing career to take up a coaching role with the Scottish Rugby Academy.
"It's obviously been a tough decision but, when you're getting a bit older, your body makes the decision for you," he said.

Kyle Preston looks the goods. Fit , had great form for Wellington in the NPC. He is going to do well for the Crusaders. Like his last name sake Jon Preston, ( who played for Canterbury and Wellington, same position in the 1990's), he is one of the fittest around. Great he mentions Mitchell Drummond. As he said he is a great mentor and leader in the Crusaders.
