Edinburgh chasing a first for Scotland

Edinburgh will be aiming to become the first Scottish team to qualify for the Heineken Cup semi-finals as they host Toulouse today.

And the odds are in their favour. In the 60 Heineken Cup quarter-finals to date, the home team has won 46 times — that’s a 77% success rate.

So it’s rather unusual for the travelling team to start as favourites, but with four European titles under their belts, the French champions are the natural choice to set up a semi-final against either Munster or Ulster in Dublin.
