EDINBURGH will hope to emulate their most impressive European performance of last season when they kick off their Champions Cup campaign in December with a visit to Saracens.
Mike Blair’s side took part in the second-tier Challenge Cup competition in 2021-22, and they began their pool-stage schedule with a morale-boosting 21-18 victory over the English giants at the Stonex Stadium. They went on to qualify for the last eight of the Challenge Cup, while their showing in the URC was good enough for promotion to European rugby’s premier tournament.
