Conor Murray and Chris Farrell start against weakened Edinburgh

Rival coaches Johann van Graan and Richard Cockerill have adopted contrasting strategies in choosing their teams for tonight’s (7.35pm) Guinness PRO14 encounter at Musgrave Park.

Whereas van Graan has included a considerable number of the players sure to start in the European Cup meeting with Castres next weekend, Cockerill has opted to rest the majority of his international contingent after the November series with the back-to-back Champions Cup games against Newcastle in mind.
