Edinburgh Eagles are looking to reach the third round of the Carnegie Challenge Cup when they face Leeds Met University at Headingley on February 15.

The Eagles became the first Scottish team to reach round two when they defeated the RAF.

Scotland head coach Steve McCormack has given his backing to the Eagles' bid.

“Their victory in the last round was a massive achievement and one they should be very proud of," he said.

"They now have a huge opportunity to kick on from this and go further in the competition and I certainly hope that they can."
