Edinburgh head coach Andy Robinson has announced an unchanged line-up for Saturday's Heineken Cup Pool Six match against Toulouse at Murrayfield.
That means that talented youngster David Blair has retained his place at fly-half for the clash with the three-times Cup winners.
Blair - younger brother of Scotland and Edinburgh scrum-half Mike - only made his Edinburgh debut two weeks' ago but has impressed immensely since being given his chance.
Last weekend he claimed an 11-point haul in the 19-16 defeat to Munster and enough to convince Robinson he should remain in the team.
"I think David has been very assured in the way he has played. He has handled the pressure of two away games very well," said Robinson.
"He also has a 100 per cent kicking record. He has controlled the game well, but has also shown very good leadership skills."
Another man to retain his shirt is Andrew Maxwell with Scotland winger Simon Webster not yet having overcome aq shin infection.Meanwhile, another Scotland international, back rower David Callam, is named in the match 22 for the first time this season.
Edinburgh: 15 Hugo Southwell, 14 Andrew Turnbull, 13 Ben Cairns, 12 Nick De Luca, 11 Andrew Maxwell, 10 David Blair, 9 Mike Blair, 8 Simon Cross, 7 Ross Rennie, 6 Allister Hogg (c), 5 Ben Gissing, 4 Craig Hamilton, 3 Gavin Kerr, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Allan Jacobsen.
Replacements: 16 Andrew Kelly, 17 Augusto Allori, 18 Matt Mustchin, 19 David Callam, 20 Ben Meyer, 21 Phil Godman, 22 John Houston.
