The duo have been giving their coaching duties until the World Cup is completed. They are hoping by the time the tournament is concluded, that they have done enough in the meantime to cement their positions at the helm before a permanent successor to the departed David Young is confirmed.
A bonus point victory away from home in the opening game of the season is a good start.
The Blues looked much the sharper of the two sides with ball in hand, where centre partnership Gavin Evans and Casey Lualala posed particular problems for the Scots.
Man of the match, Number 8 Andries Pretorius, proved a destructive ball carrier, and he thoroughly deserved his try in the second half.
The Blues took the lead in the opening minute after Ceri Sweeney landed a 22m penalty after the Edinburgh pack was penalised for blocking.
Greig Laidlaw levelled the scores with a penalty but Sam Hobbs was on the end of a sweeping move to score in the corner.
Laidlaw and Sweeney kept the scoreboard ticking over with penalties to give the visitors a 14-9 lead at the interval.
Two penalties by Laidlaw put the home side in front for the first time but their joy was short lived.
Powerhouse Pretorius surged his way over and with Sweeney adding the conversion and a penalty the Blues were suddenly in control.
Hobbs went over for his second try, Sweeney again converting, before speedster Tom James added the icing to the cake when he sped through a gap to finish off the Scots.
