    Duhan van der Merwe is back for EdinburghSNS

    Edinburgh welcome back Duhan van der Merwe for Friday's United Rugby Championship visit of Bulls after the Scotland winger missed last week's Champions Cup mauling at Bath with a calf problem.

    Experienced forwards Grant Gilchrist and D'Arcy Rae also return from injury, while Pierre Schoeman, Magnus Bradbury, Wes Goosen and Liam McConnell are restored after being rested at The Rec.

    "It's fantastic to welcome back such an experienced cohort of players for what is undoubtedly one of our biggest tests of the season," said head coach Sean Everitt.

    "Having the likes of Duhan, Grant and D'arcy back from injury, alongside Pierre, Wes and Liam gives the squad a massive lift.

    "We know exactly what the Bulls bring. Their squad is packed with Springbok talent and they play a physical, high-intensity brand of rugby. We have to match that physicality from the very first minute if we want to come out on top."

    Edinburgh can boast a 100% record at the Hive Stadium this season and sit 10th in the URC table, one point above the South African visitors, who have finished runners-up in three of the past four seasons.

    Edinburgh: Paterson, Graham, Goosen, Lang, Van der Merwe, Thompson, Vellacott; Schoeman, Ashman, D'arcy Rae, Young, Gilchrist, McConnell, Douglas, Bradbury.

    Replacements: Morris, Venter, Hill, Hunter-Hill, Muncaster, Shiel, Scott, O'Conor.
