Cardiff Arms Park sets the stage for a Saturday night clash in the BKT United Rugby Championship, as Cardiff Rugby hosts Edinburgh Rugby on Oct. 25. 

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET, live on FloRugby and the FloSports app.

Referee Andrew Brace (IRFU) will take charge of his 110th league game, assisted by Craig Evans and Carwyn Sion, with Colin Stanley as TMO.

Cardiff enters the match unbeaten at home and looking to close the opening block of the season with another statement performance. 

Captain Liam Belcher leads a side built around stability and experience, featuring Taulupe Faletau and Taine Basham in the back row, and Ioan Lloyd controlling the attack from fly-half. 

The hosts have shown composure and precision through the first month of play and will rely on defensive discipline to maintain momentum.

Edinburgh arrives in Wales intent on disrupting that rhythm after a competitive start to its campaign. 

With captain Magnus Bradbury leading the pack, and James Lang anchoring midfield, the Scottish club will test Cardiff’s breakdown organization and line speed. 

Edinburgh's depth, highlighted by the inclusion of Pierre Schoeman and Ewan Ashman up front, makes the team dangerous in every phase.

Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt said his team knows the magnitude of the challenge ahead at Cardiff Arms Park.

“It’s always a test going away in the BKT URC, and Saturday will be no different against a side that have started the season well,” Everitt said. “They’re unbeaten at home, and kick really well, so we’ll need to be at our best to get the result we want to finish this first block with.”
