Sean Everitt has challenged Edinburgh to maintain their “positive energy” by progressing to the last eight of the EPCR Challenge Cup with victory over United Rugby Championship rivals Lions.

The men from the Scottish capital go into Friday night’s round-of-16 showdown at the Hive buoyed by a 38-5 league win over Dragons last week in which several of their big-hitters returned following Six Nations duty.

“We’ve put ourselves in a good position,” said Everitt. “It’s always good to take some momentum into a knockout game like this weekend. There’s a lot of positive energy around the camp.

    How will Toulouse play without Antoine Dupont? | RPTV

    “We had a lot of guys returning last week, that certainly helps the energy and the guys are really focused on the Lions on Friday.

    “I think (playing in Europe) freshens things up from the URC because you get opportunities to play against teams that you probably wouldn’t play against. We went to Vannes, a beautiful town, and we got the opportunity to play against Bayonne, so there are teams you don’t normally play against, which is good to freshen up the guys.

    “At the same time, it’s a competition that has got a bit of prestige to it and it is an opportunity for a trophy as well.

    “We are playing the Lions, which is a URC team, this weekend. People will say it’s the same old, but it’s not. We played the Lions in the third round of the URC, it’s going to be really exciting.”

    Ross McCann starts in place of Scotland wing Duhan van der Merwe, who is out until next month, while hooker Dave Cherry returns to the starting XV for the first time since starting each of Scotland’s five matches in the recent Six Nations.

    Lions head to Edinburgh reeling from a wind-affected 42-0 URC defeat at Glasgow last Saturday in which all of the points came in the first half.

    “It was a weird one in terms of a couple of very different-looking halves,” Everitt said of his opponents’ loss at Scotstoun. “They’ll all be disappointed with that loss, but I know how proud they are as a franchise and as a group of players and I know them quite well, so they’ll be looking to bounce back this weekend.”

    Geoff Parling: An Englishman roasting the Lions?

    TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY IS A GENUINE CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY


    It was a cold morning when I first realized the full extent of my loss. I had invested 150,000 euros into an online crypto platform, believing in their promises and the allure of quick financial success. But as the days passed, I discovered it was all a scam. My money was gone, and with it, my dreams of financial security.

    The feeling of helplessness and devastation was overwhelming. I tried everything to recover my funds contacting authorities, searching for solutions online, and connecting with others who had been through similar scams—but nothing seemed to work. I felt completely lost, as though there was no way back.One Sunday, feeling utterly defeated, I decided to visit Grace Church in Dublin, Ireland. I was searching for some peace and comfort. During the service, I shared my story with the congregation, explaining how I had been scammed and lost everything. I didn’t expect much—just a chance to speak to someone.

    Afterward, a fellow parishioner came up to me. He had been listening closely, and after hearing my situation, he shared that he had once been in a similar place.

    He had fallen victim to a scam too, and like me, thought his money was gone for good. But someone had recommended a service called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY to him. He decided to reach out to them, and with their help, he had managed to recover his lost funds.

    He suggested I contact them, believing they could help me too.

    Though I was skeptical, I was also desperate, so I wrote down their contact information. That evening, I called TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY. From the moment we spoke, I felt a sense of professionalism and empathy that I hadn’t encountered before. They didn’t treat me like just another case. They listened to my story, took my concerns seriously, and reassured me that they would do everything they could to help.The recovery process was detailed and transparent. They kept me updated regularly, explaining each step they were taking. Weeks passed, and though I was anxious, I held onto hope. Then, out of nowhere, I received the incredible news: TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY had successfully recovered 95% of my 150,000 euros. It felt like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. Thanks to the team at TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was able to regain my financial footing and rebuild emotionally. I’m now more cautious than ever, but I’m also deeply grateful.

    Without the kind recommendation from that parishioner at Grace Church, I would never have found the help I so desperately needed.

    Today, I’m on the path to full recovery, and I can confidently say that TRACE HACKER'S CRYPTO RECOVERY gave me a second chance.

    Their dedication and expertise truly made all the difference in my life.
