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.”

Paddy T is playing the best footy of his career off the bench, and he’s a leader.
Straight swap: Paddy in for Scott, Scott to the bench.
But I’m loving Tuipolotu as an impact sub.
Go to commentsWhats that team then? Are Clarke or Tele'a likely to come back? Proctor didn't return to the squad did he?
I'd like see the young fullbacks play fullback, and so Jordan cover on the wing instead. Even seeing Reiks on the other wing would be cool, Reece can go back on the bench if theres even room for him there.
So preferably it would be ALB and second five where he came of the bench in the weekend and was great. He's a bit slow on the play for outside center but looks like he might need to play there if we need wingers.
Cane really sounds like he'll bit fit, is he going to want to play? I'd really like to see Kirifi earn a cap if Lakai was the only 7 (Ardie has to be all used up/finished for the year). Which young lock are we going to see come in?
No team lists here, that's kid games...
