James Lang makes his first start of the season in the centre, while stand-off Ben Healy - who was the URC's top points scorer last season - makes just a second start this term and a first since October.

Both props are rotated, meaning Pierre Schoeman and Javan Sebastian come in and Boan Venter and D'Arcy Rae - who signed a new contract this week - drop to the bench.

Marshall Sykes comes into the second row, with club co-captain Grant Gilchrist unavailable through a hand injury. In the absence of Gilchrist and Ben Vellacott, Jamie Ritchie skippers the side.

Hello and welcome to Brittany for Edinburgh's latest European exploits.

After two games, they sit top of pool three in the Challenge Cup. Today, they face their closest rivals Vannes.

It's all pretty close, though. All six teams in the group have won one and lost one, with Edinburgh top of the pile on points difference and having secured two bonus points.

Right, let's look at the teams.
