First scoring chance of the game goes the way of the hosts but fly-half Rhys Patchell cannot allow for the difficult wind and his effort goes right and wide.

Possession changing hands now a bit. Both sides looking for cracks in the opposition. Majority of the play is being carried out around halfway.

Edinburgh have started brightly here. Some strong carries and they look to move the ball when the chance arises. The visitors are attacking on the Cardiff 22.

This game is underway!

Good afternoon and welcome to this Pro12 clash between the hosts Cardiff and visiting Edinburgh. It's the time of year where the strength in depth of squads is tested as both must field without internationals due to the ongoing six nations. Glasgow currently sit top of the standings, level on points with Ulster but with a superior score difference and importantly a game in hand. A win today will really cement their place at the top. Edinburgh on the other hand sit in a disappointing 8th and are running out of time as they look to make a move on both play-off positions and Champions Cup qualifying berths for next season, a win today would be massive on both fronts.
