Edinburgh add 'good fit' Francis

Edinburgh have added yet another cosmopolitan twist to their multinational squad by securing the services of Piers Francis, the Kent-born 22-year-old fly-half/centre who has spent the past four years at club and provincial level in New Zealand.

Francis, who spent three years as part of the Saracens development squad before trying his luck Down Under, is likely to arrive at Murrayfield today. It is understood that he has signed a two-year deal with the capital side.
