Former Scotland fly-half on BBC Radio ScotlandQuote MessageConnacht's back three are very dangerous. They're high up for points scored, line breaks, and their two centres, Daly and Arnold, are big boys

BBC Scotland's chief sports writerQuote MessageHe's a very accomplished footballer, no doubt about it, but to make him play 10 from the start, or off the bench, in a Six Nations Test match, that's a different challenge altogether
All eyes on Kinghornpublished at 19:24 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2022

There will be a particular focus on Blair Kinghorn this evening.
The Edinburgh fly-half has been labelled "potentially world-class" by coach Mike Blair in the build-up to this game and there is also speculation over who will start at 10 for Scotland in Rome next weekend.
He will want to impress.

Edinburgh v Connacht (19:35)
Connacht are looking to win their third league game in a row, having come from behind against the Stormers and Scarlets in recent weeks.
They are bolstered by the inclusion of Ireland internationals Jack Carty and Dave Heffernan, who start at fly-half and hooker respectively.
Shake-up for the hostspublished at 19:14 Greenwich Mean Time 4 March 2022
Edinburgh v Connacht (19:35)
Mike Blair makes six changes to Edinburgh's starting line-up this evening as he looks to halt his side's recent poor form.
Dave Cherry comes in at hooker for his 50th Edinburgh appearance, replacing Adam McBurney. Angus Williams and Mesa Kunavula are also named in the forward pack.
Henry Pyrgos captains the side from scrum-half - he is preferred to Ben Vellacott, who starts on the bench having been released by Scotland for this fixture.
