Bristol secure new scrum coach in ex-Scotland international

Bristol Bearshave announced that they have secured the services of former Scotland international prop Alasdair Dickinson.

Dickinson enjoyed a decorated career which involved 58 caps for Scotland and three World Cups. Since his retirement, he has been involved with the Scottish senior men, women, U20s and academies.

Bears’ Director of Rugby Pat Lam said:

“After a lengthy and thorough process, we’re delighted to bring Alasdair onboard as the standout candidate for the scrum coach role.

“Alasdair is a young coach with huge ability and a hunger to develop himself into a world-class scrum coach. He’s played at the very highest level and has a detailed understanding of the set-piece and how it can be a destructive weapon for the team.

“We’re proud of the progress we have made with our set-piece and our ambition is to have the most dominant scrum in the Premiership.”
