As long as you woke up dry, that's the main thing....

I thought the Edinburgh performance was clinical. They found the weakness in this depleted Leinster team and went for the jugular. Yes, at one stage we went a bit heads down and ignored clear overlaps out wide, but the tactics were working and the forwards had a clear advantage all game which we pressed home to maximum advantage.

I thought the MOTM to Barclay was a bit sentimental. WP Nel for me for the most influential player in the game, and in fact I thought Watson and Mata had better games. Great to see Barclay in an Edinburgh jersey though, and I thought Matt Scott also looked solid in his first outing for a while. It's a shame that once the game was won we didn't give the ball to the outside backs a bit more, in particular I wanted to see Dougie Fife get more involved as he's got a massive game next week. Last night wasn't much of a test for him, and JJ was a bit wasted with that game plan.

Still, great set of results last night and I'm not going to complain about a maximum pointer against Leinster, regardless of how depleted they were.
