Scotland wing Darcy Graham will play his first competitive match in eight months after being named in Edinburgh’s starting XV for Friday’s United Rugby Championship opener at home to Leinster.

The 27-year-old has been badly hindered by injuries over the past 18 months and has not played since mid-January due to thigh and groin issues.

After working on his fitness over the summer and scoring in last weekend’s friendly against Gloucester, Graham has been selected to start as Sean Everitt’s side bid to start the season strongly against a Leinster side who finished third in the regular season last term.

    “It’s exciting to be back in BKT URC action this week, and matches don’t get much tougher in this league than facing Leinster,” the Edinburgh head coach told his club’s official website.

    “We know the challenge they will bring and it’s up to us to rise to that. We can’t wait to get the season started in front of a packed-out Hive Stadium for round one.”

    In addition to the return of Graham, the Edinburgh XV is bolstered by the inclusion of three summer signings. Centre Mosese Tuipulotu, the 23-year-old brother of Scotland international Sione, is joined in the line-up by tighthead Paul Hill, who won six caps for England, and former Glasgow stand-off Ross Thompson.

    Ben Muncaster, who managed only three appearances last term due to injury, is back in for his first match since March at number eight.

    Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

    My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
