Blair brothers to start for Edinburgh

Nineteen-year-old Alex Blair will make his Edinburgh debut, beside his brother Mike, in Saturday’s clash with Leinster at The RDS (kick-off 6.05pm).

“It will be good to have Mike beside me at half-back, not just because he’s my brother, but because he’s a hugely experienced player who’ll be able to give me a few pointers when he feels it’s required.
