Team News for the Weekend:

Posted in Heineken Cup, Player Watch, Rugby on TV on October 17th, 2008 by Rory

IN:
Ben Cairns - Edinburgh - will he combine with De Luca on his return and revitalise Edinburgh’s cutting edge?
Dan “Parko” Parks - Glasgow - will he return Glasgow’s cutting edge or boot everything in sight?
Thom Evans - Glasgow - back from plastic surgery (well, he was in a boy band) to show us if his zip and zest belong in a Scotland shirt. Malkovich look out.
Richie Vernon - Glasgow - young back rower gets his first start of the season. Against Toulose.
Rob Deweytime - Ulster - into the squad vs Quins on Saturday but no guarantee his time in the wilderness is over.

OUT:
Hugo Southwell - Edinburgh - drops right out of the 22
Matt Mutschin - Edinburgh - pays the price for his stupid trip on Kearney and ensuing Yellow Card
Kelly Brown - Glasgow - possibly also paying for indiscipline last weekend
Nikki Walker - Ospreys - out for 3 weeks with a hand injury

SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT:
Phil Godman - Edinburgh - hopes to celebrate his 100th appearance for Edinburgh with a victory at Castres
Dan Biggar - Ospreys - with a name like that he should be playing for Scotland. Rumour has it he had a grandfather in the right place.
Rory Lamont - Sale - continues his run at full-back
Jason White - Sale - still on the bench
Tom Smith & Euan Murray - Northampton - still cooking up a storm in the front row
Sean Lamont - Northampton - finding his way back into form with a try last weekend
Rory & Scott Lawson, The big Stroker and Dicko - Gloucester - all exactly where they were last week as Dean Ryan names an unchanged team.
