Andy Robinson is confident Edinburgh Rugby can soon be challenging for major honours under his guidance.

The 43-year-old former England boss, who signed a three-year contract, is keen to resume his coaching career and is excited about the challenges he faces.

"I came up to Edinburgh, I had a look around and I was impressed with the whole organisation," said Robinson, who was forced to resign as England head coach in November.
