Luke Crosbie to make first start of the season for Edinburgh
By PA
Scotland back-row forward Luke Crosbie will make his first start of the season as Edinburgh host Cardiff on Saturday.
Crosbie is back in for the BKT United Rugby Championship fixture after impressing off the bench against Stormers in his return from a neck injury.
Head coach Sean Everitt, who has made five changes in all, said: “Cardiff’s backs have scored the majority of their tries and they’ve managed to combine that now with a really strong set-piece and that’s become a weapon of theirs.
“In all aspects of the game, we need to be really sharp on Saturday to be able to get the win.”

We have to be fair to Robertson; Hansen and Foster inherited what was clearly one of the great AB squads from Henry, who had instilled an on-field intelligence and leadership in terms of being able to adopt plans B&C if A wasn't working. They lost all that. There has been a drought of coaching nous ever since , including the over-rated Schmidt.
The only problem is that Robertson is showing every sign of being cut from the same cloth, and if he doesn't start showing some signs of creativity public tolerance will quickly wear thin.

Wilkinson, Carter, lynagh , Bennett, Johnson , BOD, Macall etc . All respected for their humility and class and conduct .
Something Sexton hasn't the foggiest about.
Therefore not and never will be anywhere near great but remembered as a nasty bad loser.
Shame. Too late to look in the mirror.
