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.

Agreed.
Go to commentsThen we’re both staying the same thing. Being coached to hug the line. I never said Ireland were special about that.
My specific point is that in this Ireland and Fiji game, I hope the ref is alert to the Irish tactics so that Fiji plays their natural game.
As for the Bok game. I hope that the ref misses what you have highlighted completely so that the Boks get 3 tries this time, not two.
