I don't think Bradbury is fit yet-recall Cockerill suggesting recently he might still have a week or two to go.
I can't recall a time when Edinburgh could put out such a strong team and still have the likes of Tom Brown,Dean,Socino,Nel,Marfo,Carmichael, Bradbury and Crosbie waiting in the wings.
Still,games aren't "played on paper" so lets see how it goes on the night.Exciting season ahead though (hopefully!).

Fifteen not playing

Marfo, Fenton, Nel, Carmichael, Hunter Hill, Barclay, Bradbury, Crosbie
Fowles, Baggott, Hoyland, Socino, Dean, Brown, Graham

We've put out worse teams.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

Really strong ER squad, I think we have the power and physicality to win the match upfront just hope we now have the backline to create and score the tries.

Tipuric v Watson should be really good, and i look forward to North v VDM as well.

From offside line article

"Willem Nel and Magnus Bradbury are other significant absentees – returning from knee and calf injuries respectively, they should both be available to play against Ulster next week"

Yup, certainly not feeling all teary eyed for BBC Alba that’s for sure.
Bill Mata. The second coming?

Our own errors and lack of ball control killing us again.

Bit of an arm wrestle, but after last season would back our fitness and resilience*

Well!
George North looks very sharp.
How offside do Ospreys need to be before Lacey penalises them? :alien:

Noticed that a few times. Lacey being his usual self. Just noticed an advert for the Offside Line. Wasn’t expecting that at all.
