		Todd Blackadder is an angry man. He has given his all for Edinburgh but unless the situation improves he’ll be back on a flight to New Zealand.
		Yet while such generosity of spirit was still evident in Blackadder’s opening remarks, about Strokosch’s potential and his own responsibility to give younger players the benefit of his vast experience, the anger within soon rose to the surface as talk turned to Edinburgh’s prospects for the future.
		Blackadder’s views on developing a squad are based on a higher level of experience, and higher success, than almost anyone in the Scottish coaching hierarchy.

		NEXT Friday marks the final Edinburgh match for their talismanic coach, former All Black captain Todd Blackadder, who has become synonymous with the city side since joining them five years ago; albeit only after the sort of transfer farce that left West Coast fans fuming.
		Blackadder talked about how it is easy to win in front of 60,000 fans but insists that real mental toughness is needed to perform, and to do so consistently, in front of just 3,000.
		Blackadder thinks that Scottish rugby can only get better from here although he does concede a certain Groundhog Day feeling - "rock bottom" is fast proving a relative concept - but the coach is fully supportive of what Gordon McKie is doing.

		Anderson was responsible for coaching the Scottish forwards, and was the successor to Todd Blackadder in that role.
		Unlike Blackadder he did not manage to gain the respect of the senior forwards however, and after a run of dreadful results in which the pack also underperformed massively and personality clashes occurred (notably with Nathan Hines who left Scotland for France, and Tom Smith) he was dismissed together with Williams on April 25, 2005.
