1:05Lester counters with Aussie Vett-Jane's O'Connor at 10 and Speedy Adam Radwan back, starting on the wing, hungry after their recent Prem win. Over in Dublin, Lester hands Harry Byrne, the FlyHalf reigns, sits Ireland's Sam Printergast, brings Ryan Baird back from a broken leg into the second row, and slots New Zealand's Reaco Ioan in for the injured Gary Ringrose. Edinburgh shovels their forwards, slotting fit again, Darcy Rea prop, and Ben Monkaster at eight post-concussion.
