NORH Berwick ace Chris Dean is on the bench for Edinburgh Rugby as they take on South African side Toyota Cheetahs at BT Murrayfield tomorrow evening (Friday).
Dean started last week's win over Benneton at outside centre and laid on a try for Scotland fullback Blair Kinghorn, but he vacates the number 13 jersey for tomorrow's game, making way for James Johnstone.
With county-born locks Callum Hunter-Hill and Lewis Carmichael both unavailable, and Fraser McKenzie having picked up an injury last weekend, there is no recognised second row cover on the bench.

Here is your Edinburgh team to face @CheetahsRugby at BT Murrayfield tomorrow night. 👊

Richard Cockerill, Edinburgh head coach, said: “We’ve named a strong, combative side who'll be looking to make amends following last weekend’s disappointing performance against Benetton.
“Whilst we were happy with the result and certain aspects of our play, the squad know that there is plenty to improve on if we’re going to challenge in the league.
