Tiatia also highlighted the challenge presented by Edinburgh’s physicality and experience.
“Edinburgh will pose a stern test,” he said. “They are a good set piece team, have some good plays and can be very direct.”
Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt said confidence within his squad has grown following strong recent performances. “Back-to-back wins have given the group genuine momentum and there’s a real energy about the place,” Everitt said. “But we believe in what we’re doing right now and we’d love to make it three wins on the bounce.”

How The Rankings Work
These cross-competition power rankings compare professional rugby union clubs across major leagues using a standings-based rating model. Each team’s rating is shaped by record, point differential, league strength, previous rating and major knockout competition status.
Champions Cup semifinalists receive an added boost because those results provide the strongest cross-league signal, while Challenge Cup semifinalists receive a smaller adjustment. The model also uses league-specific caps and movement limits, so strong records in developing or lower-strength competitions do not outweigh proven performance in deeper leagues.
The rankings are meant to estimate current club strength across competitions, not simply mirror domestic league tables.
