Rugby: Webster’s influence key to Farndale’s Murrayfield rise
Farndale, 18, who made one substitute appearance for Edinburgh at Cardiff late last term, has attracted attention as top scorer in the recent World Under-20 Championship with Scotland but says that was partly due to the influence of Webster, who is likely to be a team-mate on occasions when he is farmed out to Edinburgh Accies. Webster has joined Accies and winger Farndale said: “When I was training with Edinburgh last year Simon was a fantastic help. If I ran a line wrongly he was always ready with assistance in correcting things.”
Accies have also recruited recent schoolboy stars including Alex Glashan and Chris Dean, former colleagues of Farndale, who says: “Deano has played centre and flanker. He has good pace while Alex ran a couple of scotland under-18 games last year with his pick and go and cover tackling.”
