Celtic League / Connacht v Edinburgh: Todd Blackadder leads an Edinburgh side that would be considered the strongest of the Scottish teams, and includes a decent backline, backboned by internationals Derrick Lee, Craig Sharman, Craig Joiner, Brendan Laney and Graeme Burns.
Connacht are now under the baton of Michael Bradley and it will be interesting to see what changes he makes to their style of play.
