**While Cardiff Blues may have the historical upper-hand on Edinburgh Rugby, it is the Conference B leaders who are the team to beat at the moment.** Edinburgh are yet to taste defeat in front of their home supporters in the Guinness PRO14 this season, and beat the Blues 19-11 earlier in the campaign. However, the Blues have won 19 of the 31 meetings between the two sides, including a memorable come-from-behind success in last season’s visit to BT Murrayfield. It proved to be a significant moment in Edinburgh’s season as they failed to reach the Final Series, despite appearing strong favourites to do so. But they did not expect the kind of second-half fightback the Blues produced. **What happened** It was one to forget for Richard Cockerill’s men. Both sides went into the contest aiming to provide a timely push on their Guinness PRO14 Final Series hopes as the season was beginning to unravel. Edinburgh were in a strong position in the standings and had not lost at home in almost 11 months. It would require an almighty display by the travelling Welsh side to stop them in their tracks. As expected, Edinburgh exploded out of the blocks to score when Nathan Fowles collected Dave Cherry’s offload to cross over after just seven minutes. Fowles’ impact did not stop there. The scrum-half then created the hosts’ next try not long after, feeding No.8 Bill Mata to double Edinburgh’s advantage. The writing was beginning to appear on the wall already for Cardiff. The Scottish outfit went into the break with a comfortable 14-0 lead, seemingly on their way to a bonus-point win and further boosting their Final Series aspirations.
