Edinburgh make two changes for visit of Zebre

Emiliano Boffelli drops out through injury as Edinburgh make two changes for the crucial URC home game with Zebre on Friday night.

The Argentina international has suffered a recurrence of his back injury and his absence means Matt Currie shifts to the wing, with Mark Bennett coming in at outside centre.

Viliame Mata starts ahead of Luke Crosbie at the back of the scrum.

With three games remaining, Edinburgh are currently a point outside the play-off spots.

Edinburgh: Goosen, Currie, Bennett, Lang, van der Merwe, Healy, Price; Schoeman, Ashman, Nel, Skinner, Gilchrist (C), Ritchie, Watson, Mata

Replacements: Cherry, Venter, Sebastian, Sykes, Crosbie, Vellacott, Scott, Dean.
