RICHARD COCKERILL believes the return of some of his experienced Scotland internationals today can maintain Edinburgh's challenge to be top guns in Pro14 Conference B. Grant Gilchrist, WP Nel, Nick Haining, Matt Scott, Luke Crosbie and Henry Pyrgos have all been released from Gregor Townsend's squad who sit in second spot behind Munster — in time for the crucial clash with third-placed Scarlets in Wales this afternoon. Edinburgh are still without Ben Toolis, Blair Kinghorn, Stuart McInally, Rory Sutherland, Jamie Ritchie and Magnus Bradbury who are all set to figure in Townsend's plans for the crunch meeting with Italy next Saturday, while injured winger Darcy Graham has returned to training ahead of the Rome showdown. Victory in Llanelli today would go a long way to ensuring Edinburgh's place in the end-of-season play-offs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
