The international hooker from Scotland will play before an audience of more than 35,000 supporters for his local team, highlighting a significant milestone for a player deeply connected to rugby in the city.
Replacing the injured Ewan Ashman, Cherry is one of four alterations in the starting roster that faced defeat against Glasgow last week, as the team endeavors to overcome a 19-point shortfall in the 1872 Cup.
Regarding the match, Everitt commented: “We aim to inject more purpose into our display. Last week, we didn’t prevail in the battle for possession, we were outperformed in aerial contests, and I believe they held an advantage at the breakdown, particularly during the first half.
“A considerable turnout of supporters is anticipated at Scottish Gas Murrayfield tomorrow, and we are determined to deliver an exciting performance for them.”
Everitt has maintained the back three, with Wes Goosen positioned at fullback alongside Darcy Graham and Duhan van der Merwe, the latter recently achieving his 100th cap.
For his first starting appearance at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, Mosese Tuipulotu is set to play at inside centre, with Matt Currie continuing at outside centre.
The halfback pairing for the capital remains unchanged, as Ross Thompson (stand-off) and Ali Price (scrum-half) both take on their former club.
Joining Cherry in the front row are D’Arcy Rae (tighthead) and Boan Venter (loosehead), who scored a late double last time.
Club centurion Grant Gilchrist will start in the second row alongside Sam Skinner, with the Scotland lock making his first league start of the season.
Ben Muncaster enters the starting lineup at number eight – replacing Magnus Bradbury, who remains under concussion assessment – linking up with club centurions Jamie Ritchie and Luke Crosbie to form the loose forwards.
