Edinburgh Rugby try machine Tim Visser [pictured] has labelled both the challenge and the opportunity of a second successive Heineken Cup pool win as “huge” with the arrival of big spending French Top 14 side Racing Metro at Murrayfield tomorrow night.

The club kicked off their Cup campaign in superb fashion last weekend, seeing off English Premiership outfit London Irish in a second consecutive away win for the capital club, having beaten Treviso in the RaboDirect PRO12 the previous weekend.

Visser returns to the fold for the tenth match in a row this season, looking to maintain an impressive strike rate of a try in every two matches.

“There are only six games in the Heineken Cup pool stages, so if you win your home games and pick something up on the road then you’re putting yourself in contention,” he said.

“We’ve managed to do one of the difficult elements, which is winning away from home, but we need to win our home games to really put ourselves up there and in a chance of progressing in European competition.

“This Racing Metro match was always going to be a tough and physical game but we have to back it up our away wins with a big performance in front of a big crowd.

“We have to do the basics well. The French will want to try and throw the ball around like they do at home but if we execute our attacking and defensive systems right, have a good set-piece platform and retain possession then we’ve got a good chance.”

Visser is part of a familiar Edinburgh Rugby back-line, captain Greig Laidlawstarting at scrum-halfthe only change from last week’s winning side.

The Borderer is one of three changes to the starting line-up which sees Roddy Grant and Netani Talei come in as a straight swap on the flanks for Ross Rennie and the injured David Denton, while Steven Turnbull replaces the Sean Cox on the bench.
