Lineen says: "As a deputy Lord Lieutenant of Edinburgh part of my responsibility is to help look after Royalty when they visit the Capital. Notwithstanding there is some royalty of the rugby variety in the Edinburgh ranks - I have the highest regard for some of the players - we have a few tricks up our sleeve to bring them down.
"Edinburgh are showing confidence and are undoubtedly Scotland's No.1 team on current form although that defeat by Ulster might have dented them.
