Captain Luc Lafforgue moves to full-back for Agen for the HEC opener against Edinburgh. Sylvain Mirande returns from injury to line up on the wing. Rupeni Caucaunibaca misses out though as he's not being rushed back from injury.
Edinburgh make 3 changes from their win in Limerick with Ben Cairns for Chris Paterson, Craig Smith for Alasdair Dickinson in the front row and Ross Rennie returns to replace Alan MacDonald. Paterson may still feature though and has made the trip to France.
