It has an unbelievable atmosphere he said

But Moffats put the proper team back together and if they can find some of their early season spark against a Stade side who have been struggling until recently then Edinburgh could sneak a home result. Home field advantage with the accompanying razmatazz could be irresistable though. Several of the guys who have impressed so farCairns, Grant, Houston, Robertson have a real opportunity to stake a place for caps here. No sign of a Stade team yet so Hugo may yet make an appearance. Red Button on Sky for this one.Edinburgh: Chris Paterson, Mark Robertson, Ben Cairns, John Houston, Tim Visser, Phil Godman, Mike Blair (capt), Allan Jacobsen, Ross Ford, Geoff Cross, Craig Hamilton, Scott MacLeod, Alan MacDonald, Roddy Grant, Allister Hogg. Replacements: Andrew Kelly, Kyle Traynor, Ryan Grant, Steven Turnbull, Scott Newlands, Greig Laidlaw, Nick De Luca, Steve Jones.Scarlets vs Brive Sat 3pmChance for Sean Lamont to continue his try scoring form. Not on telly anywhere.ASM Clermont Auvergne vs Viadana Sat 3pmLittle known Scot Garry Law appears at full back for Viadana while big Jason White could be in the as yet unannounced team.

Not on TV.Glasgow vs Biarritz OPB Sat 3.45pmhaving (apart from a blip at the Dragons) mostly maintained the consistency that often eludes them, Glasgow have a real chance to lay down an early marker provided the team have shaken off the big that has dogged Chris Cusiter and Kelly Brown in particular. Jon Welsh continues to impress although Rob Dewey needs to find a bit more spark to convince us he can play at wing. Talk coming out of the camp is good, and as usual it depends if the French come to play or not. Hard to tell who a kicking fest would favour, Parks or the French who should have siege gun Traille on side, but it could turn out to be another one of those tight games that see Parks turn from liability into lifeline.Glasgow Warriors: Bernardo Stortoni, Rob Dewey, Dave McCall, Graeme Morrison, Thom Evans, Dan Parks, Chris Cusiter, Jon Welsh, Dougie Hall, Moray Low, Tim Barker, Alastair Kellock (capt), Richie Vernon, John Barclay, Johnnie Beattie. Replacements:Fergus Thomson, Ed Kalman, Kevin Tkachuk, Dan Turner, Kelly Brown, Hefin OHare, Colin Gregor, DTH van der Merwe.Northampton vs Munster Sat 6pmanother of those could be a classic matches so often thrown up by this tournament. No Euan Murray yet and no Tom Smith now either, but the ever reliable Scott Gray continues to add to Robbos back row riches.Leicester vs Ospreys Sun 1245pmAnd another one. Nikki Walker continues a rich vein of form and the Ospreys are starting to spark in a backline that should be a match for any team, even the Tigers at Welford Road.

If they dont fire though, expect Leicester to win, ugly or otherwise.Toulose vs Sale Sharks Sun 3pm (4pm local)Should be a comfortable win for Toulose, but could out of form Sale cap the weekend with an upsetPhew I wont be doing that every Friday Enjoy the weekend!. SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (Reuters) - Twice champion Phil Mickelson will return to very familiar surrounds when he makes his debut on the 2009 PGA Tour in this week's Phoenix Open at the TPC Scottsdale. SportsThe American world number four attended the nearby Arizona State University and has been a regular competitor at the event since appearing for the first time as an amateur in 1989."It's always good to be back in the Valley," Mickelson, 38, told Reuters during preparation for Thursday's opening round."And it's really cool this year with the (Arizona) Cardinals in the Super Bowl. We've had this kind of buzz in San Diego and what it does for the community is wonderful."Mickelson, who will be making his 18th consecutive Phoenix Open appearance, won the tournament in 1996 and 2005 and was edged out by compatriot JB Holmes in a playoff for last year's title.Hugely popular with the fans, the left-hander has always relished the closing stretch on Scottsdale's Stadium Course, which features the infamous par-three 16th, the noisiest hole in golf."The last few holes here always provide a feeling we don't get at other tour events but it's really going to be special now with 16 essentially surrounded by seating," Mickelson said."It's obviously good for the Thunderbirds and I think the fans are going to love it," he added, referring initially to the local civic group that runs the tournament.The Phoenix Open is known for delivering the biggest party on the circuit and its focal point starts and ends on the raucous 16th.MASSED SPECTATORSThousands of spectators cram into the bleachers and sky boxes surrounding the 162-yard hole, many more swarming across the grassed hill that faces the green."It's a phenomenal experience and a lot of fun," said Holmes, who also won the tournament in 2006. "But it's hard for club selection because you've got adrenalin pumping and the wind, and you do have 20,000 or 30,000 people yelling at you."American Chris DiMarco, champion in 2002, accepts the pluses and minuses of the 16th with its grandstand setting."It has an unbelievable atmosphere," he said. "You walk on that hole and you don't feel like you're at a golf tournament, you feel like you're at a football game."The hardest thing is calming yourself down because you get pumped walking through that tunnel.
