Agree with that. We will miss him.

Blues are fighting back, it's 14 - 15 with Connacht down to 14.

Bevington is really Gethin MKII, lovely flick pass.

I'm frustrated that the O's didn't get a third try there. They've had the better opportunities so far.

The O's will want 3 tries before HT considering their dominance.

Booger. Edinburgh try by Watson.

14-5 before conversion.

Shocking tackling by O's..

But it is Edinburgh with the try.

O's should be given a bollocking, fell off the pace after 25 minutes.

14-7 at HT....oh hang on they've restarted...doesn't matter, Morgs misses the penalty.

Blues 19 - 18 Connacht

Copeland with another try this week.

Looks like Patchell's boot and Copeland's try have saved the Blues again.

Will be interesting to see the highlights, hope they can hold on now.

Blues now losing 22 - 23

Cai the Pie giving away penalties...he could get binned before long...

Leonard takes a big kick but it just goes left of the posts.

14-7 at 44 minutes.

Blues lost...again

Jebus ref! How many infringements before you bin someone?!

Morgs taking the penalty kick anyway...and that goes awry too.

14-7 at 49 minutes.

Why the sudden change from going for the tries. Might aswell give it a go.

Well at least he got that one. I guess that they're trying to deprive Edinburgh of a LBP as well as win, but they do need a WBP.

17-7 at 54 minutes.

Ben Atiga in the bin.

Now the O's are gunning for a try....O's over the line but they can't get the ball down. Webb is celebrating, but it's gone to TMO...

Looks like Rhys Webb nicked it

Try?

OK, looking at the footage. Great try.

24-7 at 56 minutes.

Edinburgh =

Awh...Morgs does a good run up but then makes a bum pass.

Wasted 4 on 2 by Morgan

O's could really do with the WBP now...

Bit of a questionable turnover there.

But Edinburgh are again incapable of clearing from their 22

Ospreys wasting opportunity after opportunity

I really hope this doesn't end up in a frustrating win but no BP and worse still Edinburgh getting a LBP.

Webb you pleb!!! He should've kept going with it. Easy intercept.

Ooooh, Rhys Webb almost have a 90m try.

More wasted chances

More wasted chances

Morgan Allen is such a powerful player, I really hope he keeps developing - he could be Wales' Ben Morgan, we could use a more powerful carrier at 8 in some games.

That's a red card.

Great phase of play from the O's is interrupted by a nasty looking tip tackle on Tom Grabham.

Nick De Luca gets a red. well that just about sums up his night really.

Stupid tackle considering from an experienced player like NDL.

Nick De Luca is sent off.

Really really stupid tackle - dumped straight on his head, such a clear red

Morgan Allen is MOTM

This ref warned of a YC for ages. Just because he has given a red doesn't mean that all those YC warnings go away.

MOTM Morgan Allen

How many times have we turned it over 1m out? Gotta make this count...

Bad tackle...an accident I think but NDL had to walk.

They could do with putting 50p in the meter...the lights have gone off at one end!

Allen doesn't look happy, clutching his arm quite badly

Edinburgh in disarray... Like we haven't heard that this season

Looks like he might've injured his wrist.

Put the blydi lights on, mun!

Should look for the penalty try from this scrum, although they do have a man advantage in the backs - but considering the opportunities the backs have messed up, I would keep it in the pack.

If the O's don't get a try now I'm going to be pished off. Beck should've got over then.

lol. We really don't do tbps....

Ashley Beck almost get there then throws a stupid pass.

ANOTHER wasted opportunity.

Schitt. We couldn't get a BP if we tried.

FT 24-7

Frustrating end as predicted.

Can't score a try against a 14 man shambolic Edinburgh - pretty dire

At least Edinburgh are giving them another chance by not kicking it dead

And the O's have possession

and knock it on.

Really poor by the O's, that should have been a 5pt game with 2 tries in 25 minutes.

im not even going to bother pointing out Edinburghs failings tonight as just about everything was done wrong, and done badly. Utter disgrace and I will never forgive Bradley for what hes done to us.

Imperial, this simply can't be all down to the coach. Embra have been utterly disgraceful this season. It must be something more.
