Crosbie has been at his combative best so far this campaign and continued the rich vein of form that saw him claim October’s award.

A win at Stade Pierre-Fabre would significantly boost Edinburgh’s chances of reaching the knockout stages of Europe, however Skinner knows that Edinburgh will need to be at their best to secure a win at one of rugby’s most formidable venues. “This competition is about winning every game pretty much so it is vitally important we […]
