I can see what the O's were trying to do. If our handling and final ball was spot on we'd of racked up 40 odd points. Still, wins a win.

How did Hamish Watson play amongst all the usual sub-standard Edinburgh efforts?

Hes taken a decent side to this shambles. They dont look coached. Ask anyone about his disgraceful mis management of players, bringing in of random journeymen in positions where we dont need them, admittal of his apthy towards the league games. He may not be responsible for everything, but hes dam well respobsible for most of it.

Well done ospreys shame you didn't get the TBP but wins is wins. Cant wait for this season to be over and have a complete clear out of coaches and some mediocre players who are blocking the U20's coming thru, not once this season have we looked like a team unlike Glasgow who have just got a fantastic win against Ulster.

(Edinburgh had a team bonding session half way thru the season, if your team who are training/playing week in week out together since the start of the season haven't bonded enough half way thru the season then that's a major coaching issue and its exactly what where seeing on the field, individuals not a team)

My heart skipped a beat watching that.
Lengthy ban for De Luca I reckon.
What was he thinking if indeed he was thinking?

De Luca is a feckin cretin and always will be - will hopefully never, ever darken a Scotland shirt, ever again now that Robinson has gone Get him to Bristol - he could get a game there now. A total numpty and also crap at rugby.

Still better than you ever were you sad little man.

In the defence of 21st Century Schizoid Man, he has also never done anything in a Scotland shirt that would warrant him being fired into the centre of the Sun.

I never said he has, but when the sad old gloater king comes on for his daily demonstration of his lack of humility and grace, I feel someone should remind him of what he hasnt acheived on a rugby pitch.

Give it rest Mrs Robinson - go take some of your incontinence pills and chill out.

Come on guys - just leave it eh?

lets get this straight. You are telling someone else to chill out! Classic.

Edinburgh rugby. The score. The performance. This thread.

Depressing.

Finally got round to watching highlights of this game. De Luca is a complete idiot. One of the worst tackles I've seen in a while. I was at the point where I thought I was being unduly harsh to the guy but I really hope he gets a lengthy ban, Cairns steps up and de Luca never gets capped again.

13-week ban for de Luca - what a plonker!

Holy crap! Was the tackle really that bad?? Anyone got a link for the highlights?

Around 1:46:35, it was an horrible tackle, he could easily have broken Grabham's neck.

That was the worst spear tackle I have ever seen - what the hell was he thinking??
