Time is against us to do a full write up today but here are the teams for the weekend’s European clashes.
Edinburgh welcome back Jaco van der Walt as playmaker, in what has become a pretty settled team. Luke Crosbie on the bench will be a welcome sight as he returns from injury. No-one would really have given Edinburgh a chance against Toulon but they stuttered against the high-flying Newcastle Falcons last weekend. If the capital men get a good crowd behind them it could be a real tussle this one.
Edinburgh: 15. Blair Kinghorn, 14. Darcy Graham, 13. James Johnstone, 12. Matt Scott, 11. Dougie Fife, 10. Jaco van der Walt, 9. Henry Pyrgos; 1. Allan Dell, 2. Stuart McInally (c), 3. WP Nel, 4. Ben Toolis, 5. Grant Gilchrist, 6. Magnus Bradbury, 7. Hamish Watson, 8. Viliame Mata.
Replacements: 16. Ross Ford, 17. Rory Sutherland, 18. Simon Berghan, 19. Luke Crosbie, 20. Jamie Ritchie, 21. Nathan Fowles, 22. Simon Hickey, 23. Chris Dean.
RC Toulon: 15. Hugo Bonneval, 14. Josua Tuisova, 13. Malakai Fekitoa, 12. Mathieu Bastareaud (c), 11. Julian Savea, 10. Anthony Belleau, 9. Anthony Meric; 1. Florian Fresia, 2. Anthony Etrillard, 3. Sébastien Taofifenua, 4. Juandre Kruger, 5. Romain Taofifenua, 6. Swan Rebbadj, 7. Raphael Lakafia, 8. Florent Vanverberghe.
Replacements: 16. Bastien Soury, 17. Xavier Chiocci, 18. Emerick Setiano, 19. Jacques Potgieter, 20. Daniel Ikpefan, 21. Francois Trinh-Duc, 22. Eric Escande, 23. Rudy Gahetau.

Tommy Seymour and Sam Johnson both missed the defeat to Saracens but return now, Seymour in the unfamiliar position of fullback. Other than that the team looks pretty similar to the unit that fronted up admirably against a powerful Sarries outfit. Having lost at home, this is a must win for Glasgow but Cardiff are not in the disarray of recent seasons and it will be tricky.
Cardiff Blues: 15. Gareth Anscombe, 14. Aled Summerhill, 13. Rey Lee-Lo, 12. Willis Halaholo, 11. Jason Harries, 10. Jarrod Evans, 9. Tomos Williams; 1. Rhys Gill, 2. Kristian Dacey, 3. Dillon Lewis, 4. George Earle, 5. Josh Turnbull, 6. Olly Robinson, 7. Ellis Jenkins (c), 8. Nick Williams.
Replacements: 16. Ethan Lewis, 17. Brad Thyer, 18. Scott Andrews, 19. Rory Thornton, 20. Samu Manoa, 21. Lloyd Williams, 22. Garyn Smith, 23. Matthew Morgan.
Glasgow Warriors: 15. Tommy Seymour, 14. Lee Jones, 13. Huw Jones, 12. Sam Johnson, 11. DTH van der Merwe, 10. Adam Hastings, 9. Ali Price; 1. Oli Kebble, 2. Fraser Brown, 3. D’Arcy Rae, 4. Robert Harley, 5. Jonny Gray, 6. Ryan Wilson, 7. Callum Gibbins (c), 8. Matt Fagerson.
Replacements: 16. George Turner, 17. Alex Allan, 18. Petrus du Plessis, 19. Scott Cummings, 20. Chris Fusaro, 21. George Horne, 22. Peter Horne, 23. Niko Matawalu.
