This is a repeat of last season's round one fixture at the Cardiff City Stadium with Edinburgh gaining the narrowest of victories by the odd point in 43 twelve months ago.
Cardiff Blues begin the Magners League season with a home game for the fifth successive year. The Blues finished off last season in style by winning their last eight matches in all competitions, although amazingly they have lost their last three home games against Scottish visitors.
Edinburgh lost their last four matches of the 2009/10 season, whilst you have to go back to 4 December to discover their last away victory: 17-16 at Scarlets.
The Scotsmen have won their last four games against the Blues.
Referee: Peter Fitzgibbon (IRFU, 28th League game).
Assistant Referees: Phil Fear, Colin Kirkhouse (both WRU).
TMO: Tony Rowlands (WRU).
