Scotland captain Mike Blair leads the list of those left out by Edinburgh for the final group game in this year's European Cup.

Greig Laidlaw takes his place at scrum-half for the game against Leinster - so Scotland forward Allister Hogg leads the side.

Former Test skipper Chris Paterson replaces fellow Scotland squad member Hugo Southwell, who has a shoulder problem, at full-back.

Meanwhile, Edinburgh swap one Scotland centre for another as Nick De Luca returns after a head knock to form a centre partnership with John Houston as Ben Cairns drops out to give him a rest before the RBS 6 Nations.

Stand-off David Blair will make only his second start of the season against the Celtic League champions instead of Phil Godman, who is nursing a slight hamstring strain.
