Edinburgh Rugby will start five of their returning internationalists from the Rugby World Cup (RWC) against Heineken Cup champions Leinster at Murrayfield tomorrow night (kick-off 7.35pm).
The returnees include Chris Paterson, the nation’s most capped player and record point’s scorer at full-back; centre, Nick de Luca, and the complete Scotland front-row that started the nation’s matches against Romania and Argentina: Allan Jacobsen, Ross Ford (hooker) and Geoff Cross.
Their reintroduction brings a potent mix of youth and experience to the black and red ranks as 20-year-old season debutant Matt Scott retains his centre spot to partner de Luca for the first time while Tim Visser and Simon Webster start out wide.
