I dunno about it being a surprise, Bennett wasn't in amazing form prior to his latest injury so I think it's reasonable that he has to earn a starting place.

Could be very close to the Munster lineup for next week except for McInally,Gilchrist and the back row (ie how to fit in Ritchie he's fit and Barclay goes well tomorrow.)

Re Scott and Barclay staring the problem is there is so little club rugby now if they don't play for Edinburgh they won't get a game at all.And the argument for starting is that if not match fit they can just be taken off rather than knowing when to sub a fitter starter-though I'd be happier that-like Bennett recently-they start on the bench.
Nice to suddenly have such an (apparent) surfeit of riches to choose on in the centre and back row.Hopefully Cockerill will use them over the next few weeks-but without being forced to by injuries.
