only a try in the last play of the game saw Edinburgh beat bottom club Zebre 24-17

i turned over to the footy when it went 10-5 in the 2nd half, not overly impressed

We were missing pretty much our entire starting XV against Zebre's full team. I thought the players did well to get a result. I had a great day yesterday - met Hamish Watson, Darcy Graham, Matt Currie, Emiliano Boffelli and WP Nel before the game yesterday - all happy to stop, chat and take photos.

Very convincing win for Glasgow earlier - they too scored a BP win with the last play of the game but against much stronger opposition.

Ken Scotland died at 86. Fair-haired fullback and British Lion 50s/60s. Remember him as one of the last to take a conversion straight on with the toe of the boot!

Off the top of your head, who springs to mind - a repeat offender - as one of the worst high tackle offenders in the Home Nations?
Owen Farrell must be top or very near the top of the list, but despite his previous, he only gets three weeks for this from an "independent" RFU discipline panel.

I say chaps, that means he is back in time to play for England vs Scotland in the 6NC. Jolly good show.

And now David Duckham.

He was my teenage hero as a flying 3-quarter

I'm at Sale v Toulouse on Saturday in the Heineken Cup. Hopefully be a good game. Sale got hammered out there but hopefully tighter at home.

Wonder if that might trigger a Toonie to France, Rennie to Scotland move?

Two great away wins for Edinburgh and Glasgow this weekend in France - Edinburgh move to the QF of the Champions Cup and can secure a home game by beating Saracens next Sunday!

Only problem is Rennie's wife wants to be closer to grandchildren

Glasgow have already stated that he's suspended indefinitely

[cabbageandribs1875]

was their seriously no one in the Edinburgh camp that didn't realise they needed more points at the end for a home tie ? instead Pyrgos kicks it out deary me , i don't think schoeman understands what the interviewer was pointing out to him at the end, just saying he was happy with the win.

Good riddance to him and well done Warriors.

Looking more and more likely that John Cooney is going to be called up by Townsend. With him and Healy, that's 2 very good new acquisitions.

The Cooney one is embarrassing. The guy has played from Ireland Schools, all the way to full international with 11 caps.

He had no interest playing for Scotland. If he isn’t good enough for Ireland then why would we want him? We have a 3 test lion in Price already, plus White, Horne and Velacott. Makes a complete joke of international rugby picking guys like that.

Pyrgos didn’t kick it out initially. He tried to keep it alive and then after the crowd went mental at him to boot it out, he did but only after he ran it and went through another phase.

Seems everyone at the DAM (including me) didn’t know the situation but Pyrgos did.

it must have been quite confusing for the players not realising what was then needed with that Saracens try, a wins a win and most probably weren't even thinking about the points difference, but anyway que sera sera, they will have to be at their best to beat Leicester down there they have a chance, Leinster will will fancy winning the thing i'm sure.



elsewhere, BBC have got all the Scotland home games

11th Feb - v Wales
12th March - v Ireland
18th March - v Italy

Another disappointing night at the office for Edinburgh - Sharks rested most of their Boks but were still too powerful in the end. Fought right til the end and again, I'd question the decision making not to take the penalty in the 82nd minute and kick it to get a draw!

A lot of Sharks fans in the crowd tonight, which made for a great atmosphere.

If we could have a fully available, healthy roster, we'd have a seriously scary team - it just hasn't quite worked this season sadly!
