Fiji Water Flying Fijians number 8 Viliame Mata will be looking to continue his consistent performance for Edinburgh this weekend when they take on Glasgow Warriors in round 8 of the United Rugby Championship.

Mata has been named to start again at number 8 for Edinburgh tomorrow but the big Fijian will be having a good match-up against Tongan international Sione Vailanu who will start at number 8 for Glasgow Warriors.

The 32-year-old played a grand game for Edinburgh last week helping them beat Castres 34-21 and he will want to maintain his devastating form for the club this weekend.

Mata and his Edinburgh side will take on Glasgow Warriors at 7.35am tomorrow.

Meanwhile, former France centre Virimi Vakatawa has made a return to the starting lineup for Bristol Bears and will be starting at number 13 against the Newcastle Falcons tomorrow.

The Bears will play the Falcons at 7.45am tomorrow.
