We continue our in-depth analysis of Heineken Champions Cup sides with a profile of Edinburgh Rugby, who reached last season's European Rugby Challenge Cup quarter-finals. What is their European Cup record like? Edinburgh make a return to the Heineken Champions Cup for the first time since the 2013/14 season, with their best run coming in 2012. During that season, they became the first Scottish club to reach the last four of the competition. They finished top of Pool 2 and beat Toulouse 19-14 in a pulsating quarter-final at BT Murrayfield. However, they were then defeated 22-19 by Ulster Rugby at Dublin's Aviva Stadium in the last four. Since then, they have exited at the Pool stage in 2013 and 2014, before featuring in the Challenge Cup for the past three seasons. https://twitter.com/EdinburghRugby/status/1017426053181202432 Who is on their coaching staff? Richard Cockerill joined Edinburgh Rugby last year after a trophy-laden spell in charge of Leicester Tigers and half a season at RC Toulon. He won three English Premiership titles as head coach at Leicester, as well the Anglo-Welsh Cup in 2012. Cockerill is assisted by former Scotland Sevens head coach Calum MacRae, who holds the role of defence coach, and ex-Scotland fly-half Duncan Hodge, who is backs coach after a spell as acting head coach in September 2016 following the departure of Alan Solomons. Who are their new signings? Scotland back row John Barclay has joined Edinburgh from Scarlets and is one of a number of eye-catching signings by the Scottish club. Former Auckland and Blues fly-half Simon Hickey, Scotland back row Luke Hamilton and Argentina centre Juan Pablo Socino have all been snapped up by Richard Cockerill as Edinburgh look to continue on their upward trajectory and make waves in the Heineken Champions Cup. https://twitter.com/EdinburghRugby/status/1020309458801577984 Who are some of their other key players? Edinburgh boast a string of Scotland internationals, including prop WP Nel, wing Damien Hoyland, flanker Hamish Watson, scrum-half Henry Purgos and full-back Blair Kinghorn, who scored four tries in last season's Challenge Cup. Other key players include Italy prop Pietro Ceccarelli, South Africa wing Duhan van der Merwe and Fiji back-row duo Viliame Mata and Senitiki Nayalo. What are Edinburgh Rugby saying about the draw? Head coach Richard Cockerill told the club's official website: "The Heineken Champions Cup is going to be hard whoever you draw, but I’m probably pleased that we’ve drawn, firstly, Toulon - a side that I’ve obviously coached and know a lot about - but also Montpellier and Newcastle Falcons, who are both tough opponents. “It’s great to get the big teams. Newcastle Falcons, Montpellier and Toulon have pretty much got world XVs. To be able to test ourselves against those teams, both home and away, is fantastic. “I’m looking forward to going away to Toulon, Montpellier and Newcastle, but to bring that quality of team to Edinburgh, in front of our supporters, who they will see a lot on TV and read about, will be fantastic. “We want to compete and go up against the very best. Toulon have been European champions multiple times, Montpellier were finalists in last season’s TOP 14, while Newcastle reached the semi-finals of the Premiership after a brilliant season. “It’s a brilliant opportunity to test ourselves against that type of calibre of player, but also to prove that we’re as good as them as well. We’ve got some very good players in our squad – many of them are in the Scotland set-up – and we’ll go out there to prove ourselves at the top table."
