"We've selected a pack for Saturday's game and as a result of Wednesday's training session I will now be picking the back line,” said Hadden. "Simon Webster, Brendan Laney, Marcus Di Rollo and Matt Dey have question marks over them and fitness tests will determine their availability."
Nathan Hines returns to the second row bringing the Edinburgh based side close to a full strength squad. "We are getting closer and closer to a clean bill of health and it appears as if our huge injury backlog is behind us. We are close to being able to select a team from strength," added Hadden.
