On which subject I'd noted a couple of things while doing the Edinburgh Depth Chart:
Is Alex Toolis being flogged a bit? He's been in every single matchday squad this season and tomorrow's game will be his 15th start in a row. Meanwhile Lewis Carmichael is at least involved but still hasn't started a match for Edinburgh despite being attached to them for at least 2 seasons.
The other one that stuck out was Blair Kinghorn. Still only a teenager but again he's been in every matchday squad and tomorrow will be his 9th consecutive start. Not helped by the coaches seemingly only considering the club to only have 2 options to play full back (Kinghorn and Bryce). Because of course there's no way that Tom Brown could possibly cover there...

Solomons is gone but it's still almost the same rotation policy. We tend to keep going the same team, if you except 9 and 10, plus the back-row. You can be sure than if Burleigh was fit, he would be playing at 12.
Tom Brown is one of the very few players to be rotated regularly.
