Starting the match in the backs are captain and stand-off Greig Laidlaw; centre, Nick De Luca; and top try-scoring winger, Tim Visser; while Ross Ford, and back-row trio Ross Rennie, David Denton and Stuart McInally re-enter the pack, and props Allan Jacobsen and Geoff Cross are primed to enter the fray from the bench.
Bradley said: "The players, coaches and supporters are all really looking forward to the start of the competitive season.??"We have virtually all of our players available for selection and have completed a strong summer of pre-season training, with the time to perform when it matters now upon us.
??"We want to make a statement of intent in the RaboDirect PRO12, as a team and as a club, and want to kick that off with a win at home and give our fans something to shout about."
Bradley's first selection for the 2012/13 season will also see five competitive debuts made from the outset.
With Tom Brown ruled out with a hamstring strain, new arrival Greig Tonks gets his first start in his preferred position of full-back, with fellow new face, Ben Atiga, forming a centre partnership with De Luca for the first time.??
Welsh international scrum-half, Richie Rees, forges a dynamic half-back partnership with Laidlaw, while Lee Jones completes the backs on the wing.??
New props John Yapp and Willem Nel flank Scotland captain Ross Ford in a formidable front-row, with the pack completed by the familiar pairing of Sean Cox and elite development graduate Grant Gilchrist, who reinstate a partnership that started 15 matches last season.??
Edinburgh Rugby go into the match having won their last three competitive games at home and can reflect positively on the side's last match at Murrayfield, when they overcame their Irish opponents 29-14.??
However, the fact that Edinburgh have won just five of the past 21 meetings underlines the visitor's long standing pedigree and gives reason to sound a note of caution.??
Bradley added: "We're aware we have to play very well to beat the 15 players that will take to the pitch for Munster because the tradition and ambition of the club always demands an excellent performance.??
"We expect quite a physical game and a hectic pace although Munster seem to be playing a more expansive game under Rob Penney [head coach], so expect both teams to look to put width on the ball."
