Edinburgh sign Bath back Jack Cuthbert
Edinburgh have confirmed the signing of Jack Cuthbert on a two-year contract after the full-back/winger left Bath.
The 25-year-old came through the English Premiership outfit's youth ranks but has not been a regular starter this season.
Having won one Scotland cap in 2011, Bristol-born Cuthbert hopes to rekindle his international career.
"I'm really excited. It's a fresh challenge for me," he told Edinburgh's website.
"It's a change of league with a very different style of rugby.

“Jack's played regularly for Bath in the Premiership and has gained a lot of experience playing in a tough, competitive environment”

Stevie Scott Edinburgh interim head coach
"The Premiership is very much a physical affair, while there's a great style of running rugby brandished in the RaboDirect Pro12, with the physicality right up there with the best leagues in Europe.
"I'd love to get the chance to play more Test rugby, but I'm only focusing on Edinburgh just now.
"First and foremost, I want to make sure I do the simple things well; train hard, get as much game time and do as well as I can for the Edinburgh Rugby."
While Cuthbert made only eight replacement appearances for Bath in the Premiership this season, he was a regular starter during their Amlin Cup campaign and has played in previous Heineken Cup campaigns.
Edinburgh interim head coach Stevie Scott, said: "It's good to be able to bring another Scotland internationalist to Edinburgh Rugby.
"Jack's played regularly for Bath in the Premiership and has gained a lot of experience playing in a tough, competitive environment.
"He's demonstrated a knack for getting over the try-line and is a big, physical player.
"We're looking forward to him getting started with us on Monday, getting to know the rest of the squad and pushing for a place."

hehe
Poor Blues fans
Sorry my bad

You mean poor Edinburgh fans!!

I far rather have the other Cuthbert - just a touch better.....

I love his quote: "I want to make sure I do the simple things well"......like catch the ball and pass it within 10 metres of its intended target??

Seriously average player

He should fit right in then!

Why did Edinburgh ditch Jim Thompson?

If he's shoite you can call him... wait for it... Guffbert.

God, I should get a hobby or something 

As a Glaws fan I am really sorry to see him leave Bath.  He was the first name I checked for on the team sheet and was always delighted to see him play! A bit like Lee Robinson in his Bristol days, donkeys on the wing who seem to lack any form of coordination.

Lee Robinson got that cushy move to Tigers didn't he! Always baffled me.

Cuthbert wasn't the sharpest tool, bless him

I think he only lasted a season though and played very few times, but likewise, I was amazed that a club renowned for good signings signed Robinson! Not a very nice chap either, but that's another story.

I think that must go with the surname, HKC

He was signed to provide experience for the A-League. I think he may have appeared in one LV match - you know that away one you cannot be arsed about, before being offloaded to Wasps half way through the season.

A genuine debate on the player, yet I haven't recieved a single threat or insult from a Blues fan.

That's because you've attracted Scottish rugby fans rather than Welsh rugby fans, thus the genuine debate as opposed to threats or insults!!

Oh the irony....

Anyhew, back to the Messiah

What about the ?

I'm sorry! You Scottish fans are always such nice posters.
You can't blame an Ospreys fan for wanting a Blues fan's heart to skip a beat with the words Winger and Cuthbert!

Should've thought they'd be glad o get rid of the donkey, Shifty?

not one of your better signings LT

Agreed, though it was a much cheaper mistake than Derick Hougaard (or Josh Kronfeld)
