Edinburgh v Glasgow: Teams

Edinburgh make two changes to their starting XV as they try to gain revenge on Glasgow in the second Greaves Sports 1872 Cup clash on Sunday.

The Warriors secured a 30-18 victory in the first Scottish derby of the season on home soil at Firhill on Monday.

Both of Edinburgh's changes come in the pack, with Craig Hamilton coming into the second row in place of the injured Scott MacLeod.

Netani Talei returns from a foot injury to start at No.8, with skipper Roddy Grant switching to blindside flanker while Scott Newlands drops to the bench.

Head coach Rob Moffat says his side will be using the defeat against their rivals last time out as an extra motivational tool.

"I've been really impressed by the hunger and determination the boys have shown all week since losing out at Firhill," he told Edinburgh's official website.

Appetite

"There's a very obvious appetite there to make amends and I think that will stand us in good stead as we go into Sunday's game.

"We've got every motivation to give ourselves and our crowd the right result this time round, and we've picked a team we know can deliver.

"It's about building on the good things that were there in our performance at Firhill and making sure there are more of them across the full 80 minutes on Sunday."

The Warriors are also feeling the effects of a suspension for flanker Chris Fusaro, who was sent off after a tussle involving MacLeod last time out, and his place is taken by Ryan Wilson.

There is another enforced change as Graeme Morrison misses out through injury, with Peter Murchie coming in at inside centre and Peter Horne taking Murchie's place in the replacements.

Glasgow have a 12-point lead ahead of the deciding leg but Edinburgh have lost only twice in seven home games this season and are two places ahead of them in the league table.
