    I thought he didn't look that quick when he gathered the ball, but he showed some real gas after he kicked it through. Argentinian football skills on show there.

    Nick Haining breaks through the Dragons defensive line, and offloads to Boffelli, who kicks over the top and races through to score his first Edinburgh try.

    Dragons' Director of Rugby Dean Ryan has been speaking to Premier Sports ahead of kick-off:

    [On Taine Basham's workload]: "With Taine, we want to keep his enthusiasm going, and then give him a rest as and when he needs one", he says.

    "Anytime we win it gives us good feedback that we're doing well. This block is important for us so we want to start well.

    Ben Vellacott captains Edinburgh today, as Mike Blair welcomes back his horde of Scotland internationals.

    There are debuts for Adam McBurney at hooker, and for Emiliano Boffelli at fullback, the latter of which is sure to inspire excitement in the Scottish capital.

    Blair has described the Argentine as world class, and spoke this week about how keen he was to have him involved as quickly as possible.
