Speaking ahead of the match Cardiff Blues Forwards Coach Justin Burnell said,

"We are perhaps playing the inform team of the group in Edinburgh and they seem to be scoring tries for fun."

"They have got some outstanding players within their squad and it is all to play for."

"We are certainly under no illusions that it's going to be an easy game but we also have to remember we are at home and we have a full squad, more or less, to pick from, so we are excited about that challenge. It's good to be able to welcome back our international players such as Sam Warburton and Jamie Roberts."

"Edinburgh play a very open and expansive game and I think you can see from the tries they do score a lot of them are from broken play or turnovers, so we have to be very aware of not giving easy turnovers or kicking that ball into the wrong areas to Visser and the back three"

"We have recorded five out of five wins against them but I think that is totally irrelevant to this campaign."

"Last year's Heineken campaign saw us record back-to-back victories but we didn't qualify, so what was the purpose of that?'

"This year it's all about trying to get back-to-back wins and progress to the knock out stages."
