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.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
