Lewis to start for Edinburgh

Congratulations to Lewis Wells who makes his competitive pro-rugby debut on Sunday for Edinburgh in their European Challenge Cup match against Black Lion of Georgia (KO 1pm at the Hive).

Lewis was unlucky to have been injured in training for Emerging Scotland, missing their fixture against Italy U23, but has bounced back to seize this opportunity with Edinburgh.

Lewis had previously come on as a substitute for Edinburgh in a pre-season friendly against Gloucester, initially squaring up against Christian Wade, but not only is this his first start but it will be his competitive debut.
