Edinburgh bring in Pumas prop

Edinburgh have signed Argentine tighthead Felipe Arregui on a short-term deal from Super Rugby side Jaguares.
The 22-year-old was an unused replacement against Italy in June but came off the bench for his only cap to date against South Africa, in Argentina‘s 26-24 victory over the Springboks in August.
Arregui, who played five Super Rugby games last season and can also play loosehead, will stay at Edinburgh until the end of January 2017.
He said: “I’m very happy and excited to be joining Edinburgh Rugby and I come with the intention of giving my all for the team.
“Everyone has welcomed me to the club and I love the city.
“I really like the way the squad and coaches work to improve each day, with a view to growing the team and the club. All the groups work well together to achieve the same goal.”
Acting Head Coach Duncan Hodge added: “We’re delighted to welcome Felipe into the squad.
“At only 22-years old, he has an impressive CV for a prop and we’re excited to see what he can offer in an Edinburgh Rugby shirt.
“He’s shown a real enthusiasm and energy in training which we’re sure will transfer on to the park.”
