International career
He was capped by Scotland 'B' once against Ireland 'B' on 28 December 1991.[4]
He represented Scotland six times from 1992 to 1994.[1] He won a place when Alex Snow, the Heriots forward, opted to go for England selection, rather than play for Scotland. Edwards took the reverse path to Snow; he was England's radar and went on their training camp in Portugal, before deciding to rather play for Scotland.[3]
Edwards made his international debut on 18 January 1992 at Murrayfield in the Scotland vs England match. Of the 6 matches he played for his national side he was on the winning side on 4 occasions.[1] He played his final match for Scotland on 15 January 1994 at Cardiff Arms Park in the Wales vs Scotland match.[1]
He also played for the Barbarians.[2] Edwards played eleven times for the Barbarians, captaining them in 1994 on their three match tour of Zimbabwe.[2]
