Barring a couple of obvious names, that's a pretty strong team and bench given our injury problems.

It will be a good front row battle with 3 South African going head to toe with each other. Great to see McNabney getting his Ravenhill debut after such a strong showing in Glasgow.

We look much stronger in the backs. I expect a good win.

I reckon only that last minute Duncan Weir drop goal at Ravenhill has stopped us beating Edinburgh ten times on the spin, including six wins over there.

No excuse Sheridan not in side unless injured. Rea is a step down

Unless he's keeping Sheridan for next week?

Though I've long stopped trying to understand McFarland's selection methodology.

We’re a bit thin at 6 and in the second row - it makes perfect sense to keep him out of harm’s way this week.

Edinburgh have gone with a decent pack but we are much stronger in the backs. Parity up front should be enough to get the win.

Party up front? Back to Ollie's? Look where that got us last time...

Is he saving Greg too?

This not an ideal game to start your big NIQ 6? No Matty Rea it is. Hendy has played his annual two games and will now be rehabbing now for the 6N.

McFarseland out.
