Luke Crosbie to make first start of the season for Edinburgh

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.
