Edinburgh ‘want to win URC’ – Hill

Edinburgh have set their sights on winning the URC this season, says prop Paul Hill.

The capital side finished the regular season in seventh place last time around, going down to the Bulls in Pretoria in the quarter-finals.

Despite only scraping into the play-offs last season, Hill sees no reason why his team cannot be contenders in the new campaign, which Edinburgh begin with a trip to face Zebre in Parma on Saturday.

“We want to win the league,” Hill said. “We talked about it, it happens because people believe in it day in, day out.

“Having silverware in the cabinet, I think that’s the only goal. I believe in it. I think that’s all there is.

“Edinburgh have traditionally underperformed. I think last year the beginning of the season was disappointing.

“But the momentum we carried from the back end, if we can show that all the way through this season and put games back-to-back, I think that’s something we can definitely achieve.”
