Duhan in line to feed Lions

Edinburgh wing Duhan van der Merwe is set to make his first appearance of the season against the Lions at Hive Stadium on Friday night. The 31-year-old has returned to full training after recovering from ankle and foot injuries, according to The Scotsman. Lock Marshall Sykes is also on track to return following off-season shoulder surgery, providing key reinforcements for the Scottish side.

Edinburgh currently leads the United Rugby Championship standings after winning their opening three league fixtures before falling to Toulon in the EPCR Challenge Cup. The Lions enter the match following consecutive defeats to the Bulls and La Rochelle, with their preparations heavily impacted by the tragic death of lock Hyron Andrews in France last week.
