What happened to the 20 players who left Edinburgh Rugby and Glasgow Warriors
2 . Emiliano Boffelli Another whose season was ruined by injury. The Argentina international has been plagued with a nerve issue in his back since the tailend of the 2023-24 campaign and has undergone surgery on more than one occasion. He was named on the bench for the URC opener against Leinster last September but was withdrawn before kick-off. He made his first appearance of the season in the home defeat by Zebre in February but it also proved to be his last as the back problem flared up again. Boffelli, 30, remains without a club but there was some encouragement last week when he was invited to join the Argentina squad on a temporary basis as they prepared for the Rugby Championship opener against New Zealand in Cordoba. The full-back/wing played a key role in the Pumas' run to the World Cup semi-finals in 2023 and, at his best, was a brilliant player for Edinburgh, winning the club's players' player of the year award in 2021-22, his debut season. The hope remains that he can return to full fitness. | SNS Group

Ben White could finally make England return after Arsenal star's long absence
Ben White has not played for England since March 2022, but the Arsenal defender could finally make his return to the fold when Thomas Tuchel names his squad for next month's double header against Andorra and Serbia Ben White could finally be back in the England frame after nearly three years out in the cold. England boss Thomas Tuchel was at Old Trafford on Sunday and watched White as Arsenal beat Manchester United in their opening game of the season. White has not played for England after walking out on the squad during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and did not return during former boss Gareth Southgate's reign. But Tuchel confirmed in March that White has made himself available again but injuries stopped him getting a recall last season. "He loves to be back in the squad but I think it is too early for him," Tuchel said. "I just think it's a bit too early given the seriousness of the injury he had. I'm delighted he's back, he's back now in training. "We were monitoring the process and huge compliments to the medical and performance department of the FA. And thanks to everyone at Arsenal to let us monitor closely so we are on it, speaking to Ben that we are delighted that he is back on the bench. "He had a Champions League match now in the second leg and I think now it's just the question about getting more minutes, more rhythm and then he has every chance to be back. He wants to be back, he's glad to be back." Now White is finally back and under consideration again, although it remains to be seen whether Tuchel decides three games before the first international break is enough for him to prove his fitness. But there have been encouraging noises from Tuchel about White's potential and defensive abilities to suggest he does see him as having a strong chance for the future despite strong competition from Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reece James and Kyle Walker. James had not featured for England since September 2022 before he was recalled in March and Tuchel is a big fan of the defender, having previously coached him at Chelsea. "We have a good relationship," James said of Tuchel earlier this year. "We won titles together and that obviously helps build a strong relationship. He's a winner, at the end of the day. I'm happy he has got the job and I think he can help the team a lot." Tuchel names his squad for next month's double header against Andorra and Serbia on Friday, August 29.
