Caveat : Edinburgh were, by and large an international 23.
I'm stealing this post from an Edinburgh supporter on the other forum;
"15. Damien Hoyland (69) - He is a third choice wing tried at full back before. Never kicks so is easy to defend against.
14. Darcy Graham (25) - First choice, second game after injury
13. James Johnstone (44) - Current second choice to Bennett but served well last year.
12. George Taylor (13) - Third choice but first two are injured.
11. Jamie Farndale (6) - No idea why he is still around. Went to the 7s and came back. Fourth choice
10. Simon Hickey (26) - Usually second choice but very close to van der Walt
9. Nic Groom (5) CAPTAIN - Solid second choice
1. Rory Sutherland (78) - Third choice, coming back from injury
2. Michael Willemse (9) - Second choice but very good
3. WP Nel (134) - Clear first choice but coming back from injury
4. Sam Thomson (5) - Third choice, but second choice injured
5. Lewis Carmichael (38) - Second choice but dynamic young player on the up.
6. Jamie Ritchie (65) - First choice
7. Hamish Watson (102) - First choice
8. Viliame Mata (64) - First choice
As an Edinburgh supporter I am perplexed by this. Cockerill has made it clear that the league is a priority. Nonetheless he could have put out a stronger side while still resting a few players"
I didn't see the game so I am not commenting on the game.
