"Bradley will continue to coach the side until his contract ends this May, and will share the defensive duties with forwards coach Neil Back, who joined the club in July last year."

Smells like the IRFU are lining up their man early...

I hope not, numerous people I'd have ahead of him. Maybe Embra aren't renewing his contract, I don't see why they would.

Who'll be favourite to take over? I'm not sure there's anyone in Scottish rugby at present who's up to the job apart from Sean Lineen. I imagine it'll be an assistant looking to move up or an old name who's trying to get back in. Pierre Berbizier, Eddie O'Sullivan, Sean Holley, Jono Gibbes, Les Kiss.........hopefully Declan Kidney.

I think they'll promote Back to HC. He did an OK job at Leeds under difficult circumstances.

I had a quick look at Edinburgh's fans forum. They're really not happy with Neil Back and think their pack has regressed big time. I imagine they'll bring in a forwards specialist as head coach, perhaps over and above Back.
