Surely it's advantage over when you kick it?

Great defence from Edinburgh. After what looked like a very promising year last year, you have to wonder what Nigel Davies was thinking over the summer. The front-row is still awful, Hudson is powder-puff weak in the tight, Tavis Knoyle is very, very average.

You just can't win games without any platform. How does he not see this?

Cuthbert a lot better at 15 than on the wing.

Tonks has done ok - might be a good option going forward

Just when it was going so well. If you are going to bring it down do it early! Not a good time to give away a soft try.

Straight back for another 3 points, heads did not go down there. Edinburgh showing a bit of fight and spirit which can only be good. Just need to maintain the concentration for the next 40 mins.

Well played Embra - defence excellent.  Still some strange lineout calls when it is blowing a gale (MacArthur did the same for Glasgow on Friday - i.e. big long throws - brainless).    Big 40 coming up.

Edinburgh playing to their strengths and playing to the conditions. I hope the Glasgow team are watching, it is something they should have done on Friday. It does not always have to be pretty!

Maybe time to leave Cuthbert out the team UNLESS he plays fullback?

Rubbish winger, only semi-rubbish fullback?

Well the kicking has certainly added a dimension to his game that we did not know he possessed. Very solid effort in not easy conditions. He is a much better full back though, his positioning is good and very solid under the high ball. One of the catches he made was absolutely top drawer.

Tonks was hinting in the paper today that we might see more of him at fly half, maybe it is an option worth pursuing. So far so good.

Atiga scored. Anything can happen!

Great try Edinburgh, very well worked.

What happened to the teamsheet?

Cuthbert at 15 (good) but taking GKs (wtf)
Tonks at 10 for first time(?!)
Atiga scoring(?!?!?!)

Go grandpappy go!

PS. Hasn't Dougie Fife looked sharp?! Very Happy
