Edinburgh full-back Chris Paterson is aiming to repeat the greatest moment of his Heineken Cup career in Friday's Pool 2 clash with Wasps.

Scotland's record points scorer skippered his club to a dramatic 32-31 victory over the three-time European champions in 2005 and knows replicating that result would keep Edinburgh's quarter-final bid on track this season.

Paterson, who became the first Scot to reach 50 European appearances during Edinburgh's recent victory at Castres, said: "That win against Wasps was definitely the highlight of my Heineken Cup career so far - everything just went brilliantly.

"Wasps went into that game as favourites, but we just made good decisions on the day.

"We kicked well, put them under pressure and, as the game went on, we just grew in stature.

"Webbo (Simon Webster) scoring the winning try with about two minutes to go made it a very special day.

"This time, it is another very big game and it is almost a Test fixture with both teams being full of internationals.

"But if we can get our decision-making right and play with confidence then there is no reason why we can't win again."

Head coach Andy Robinson has made one change to the starting line-up following the win over Ospreys in the Magners League last Friday, with lock Jim Hamilton replacing Ben Gissing in the second row.
