WP Nel will make his 100th appearance for Edinburgh Rugby when they face Leinster at Murrayfield on Friday.

The Scotland international prop will become the 24th player to reach the landmark for the capital club after Alan Solomons named him at tighthead prop for tomorrow's Pro12 clash.

The head coach has made two changes to the team that beat Scarlets last weekend, bringing in Tonga international Viliami Fihaki to make his debut at number eight.

Fihaki replaces Jamie Ritchie in the line-up, meaning Magnus Bradbury has switched to blindside flanker in his place.

Hamish Watson comes in for John Hardie at openside in a new-look back row after the Scotland flanker received a head knock in last week's game.

The back division remains unchanged, with Duncan Weir looking to build on his man of the match performance against Scarlets.

Solomons said: “It was good to get the win under our belt last week.

“We know we need to build on that, but appreciate that we will have to be at our best against a powerful Leinster outfit.”
