The game gets underway at the Stade Andre Moga!

Good evening and welcome to our coverage of this Challenge Cup group opener between Bordeaux and Edinburgh from the Stade Andre Moga. Tonight's hosts are in red-hot form in the Top14 currently lying in third following a very promising start to the season. Their recent form makes them favourites to win at home this evening. With a powerful pack and an experienced European campaigner in Lionel Beauxis guiding the back-line, the hosts will no doubt be hard to topple this evening. Edinburgh on the other hand have had a poor start to the season. Currently in 8th position in the Pro12 and struggling for consistency, this Scottish outfit will be tested ferociously by one of France's in-form clubs. An experienced pack, lead by Mike Coman, will need to be at their best tonight if the visitors are to take anything from this game. No doubt a good game in store for fans and neutrals alike. Stay with us for live coverage. Kick-off is just moments away!
