Edinburgh travel to face Leicester Tigers at Welford Road next Saturday with both teams looking for their first win of this season's Heineken Cup programme.
Tigers lost 22-9 against Leinster in Dublin in the opening round of fixtures despite a determined performance against the hosts, while Edinburgh were beaten 19-15 by Toulouse on the same afternoon.

Now Tigers aim to bounce back, just as they did last season when they recovered from an opening-round defeat by Munster to eventually top the group and reach the knockout stages.
Leicester’s last home game produced a record attendance for an EDF Energy Cup pool round fixture when 17,551 witnessed the impressive win over Cardiff Blues, and another
big home crowd would certainly boost the prospects of a victory.
Tickets for Saturday’s match (3pm kick-off) are on sale now. Contact the Tigers ticket office on 08701 28 34 30, book online or call in at Welford Road.
