Watson replaces injured Crosbie for Edinburgh's Benetton trip
Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt makes one change to the side that won away to Munster last month for Saturday's URC trip to Benetton.
Hamish Watson replaces fellow Scotland flanker Luke Crosbie, who misses out with an injured pectoral muscle.
Youngsters Freddie Douglas, Cammy Scott and Jack Brown are named on the bench, with the latter in line for a club debut.
Ben Vellacott captains the side having signed a new two-year contract earlier this week.
"The Munster performance has set the standard for how we need to play away from home, and we'll need to play like that against Benetton on Saturday," Everitt said.
"It's great to have some of our younger guys in the replacements. Cammy Scott ran the game well against Saracens, while Freddy and Jack have both impressed for Scotland Under-20s – they've earned their spots in the squad and I'm excited to see the impact they can bring."
Edinburgh: Goosen, Currie, Lang, M Tuipulotu, McCann, Thompson, Vellacott; Venter, Ashman, Hill, Sykes, Skinner, Muncaster, Watson, Bradbury.
Replacements: Harrison, Hislop, Rae, Young, Douglas, Price, Scott, Brown.
