Published Date: 08 October 2008
WINGER Simon Webster is poised to make his first start of the season when Edinburgh take on Leinster in the Heineken Cup at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Webster picked up a hip injury the day before Edinburgh's first Magner's League match of the season against Munster last month. The knock proved troublesome and he has only now recovered enough to take his place in the starting XV.

Kicker Chris Paterson returns at full-back after missing last Friday's defeat away to Ulster in Belfast due to an ankle injury.

In the pack New Zealander Matt Mustchin starts in the second row for the first time this season. In the back row, flanker Alan MacDonald comes back in to the open-side slot after recovering from an eye injury.

Team: Paterson, Robertson, Southwell, De Luca, Webster, Godman, Mike Blair (c), Jacobsen, G Cross, Mustchin, Hamilton, Newlands, MacDonald, Hogg. Subs: Kelly, Kerr, Gissing, Hamilton, Laidlaw, D Blair, Houston.

• EDINBURGH are running their "Kids Go 4 Free" scheme for Saturday's game against Leinster. When an adult pre-purchases a ticket, they are entitled to bring in up to four children (under-18) for no charge.

Yawn...Edinburgh shooting themselves in the foot again with this team selection. You need 15 on the pitch to compete!

But seriously though - good luck on Saturday. I will be there to cheer them on! Lets get the season started.

I agree, lineouts a bit iffy with someone to throw in. Really should play a hooker.

I just thought that by not playing a hooker Edinburgh were somehow using the ELV's to their advantage.

I'll be there roaring the boys on.

I still worry about our lack of penetration & may have chosen Paterson @ 10 & Thomson on the bench in place of Blair

Isn't it bloody madness that the game has been scheduled @ exactly the same time as Scotland V Norway?
