Friday's Challenge Cup team news
Friday 20 November 2015 19:22, UK
All the team news as Agen host Edinburgh and Montpellier square off with Calvisano in the Challenge Cup on Friday.
Edinburgh will be hoping to build on their 28-10 victory over Grenoble last weekend, while opponents Agen need to bounce back from their 48-10 opening-round loss to London Irish.
Montpellier leaked six tries in their loss to Harlequins last Thursday, and Jake White's men can't afford a repeat when they host Calvisano in the second of Friday's games.
