British and Irish Lions

The Scottish Rugby Union's decision last week to order Edinburgh to leave the national stadium means Stewart's Melville's home ground will stage their first match of the summer.

The SRU announced that Edinburgh had terminated their operating agreement with the union, making them ineligible to play at Murrayfield.

Edinburgh coach Lynn Howells said: "With an influx of up to 15 new players to Edinburgh over the summer, this is an ideal opportunity for our supporters to see what the squad promises for the coming season.

"As they always do, the Tongans will provide a physical challenge and with the stage they are at in their World Cup preparations they will be looking to implement their game plan. It is certainly an exciting fixture to start our season."

Lions skipper Sam Warburton says the lessons he and his Welsh colleagues learnt in Australia last summer will stand them in good stead for their return visit with Britain and Ireland's elite next month.

Tom Youngs has enjoyed a remarkable rise to the top of the British & Irish game but he won't be resting on his laurels ahead of his first Lions adventure.
