NEW Edinburgh signing Tom Cruse may have limited opportunities to make an on-field impact with the capital club, but head coach Mike Blair is convinced nonetheless that the Englishman’s experience makes him a valuable addition to his squad.
The 33-year-old hooker - a Wasps player for six years before the English Premiership side went into administration last month - has joined Edinburgh on a short-term deal, primarily as cover for the injured Dave Cherry and Adam McBurney. Cherry could be back in action before the end of the year, and McBurney may be only a few weeks behind him, so Cruse could fall down the pecking order soon. But even if that is what happens, Blair is sure that the new man will still have a lot to contribute.
