HAVING beaten Benetton 53-8 at the DAM Health Stadium just over a month ago, Edinburgh will start this afternoon’s re-match at the Stadio Monigo in Treviso as favourites – but assistant coach Steve Lawrie insisted that the capital outfit are expecting a much stiffer challenge this time round.
He pointed out that Edinburgh are on a five-match losing streak away from home in this fixture, stretching back to October 2017, and they will be without 10 frontline internationalists who have all been rested.
