Agreed, I'm just griping because snooker's on the red button instead.

Slightly frustrating game, but a five-pointer and that'll do nicely.

Normally I'd either blame the team for relaxing or the replacements for disrupting things, but neither really seemed to be the case. Os didn't seem stop playing, but for some reason they couldn't score for the last half an hour and everything felt flat. It's annoying when a big score looked possible, but you can't really complain with 5 points.

The scoreline massively flatters Edinburgh though. Os never looked in the slightest danger of losing. Nice to see Beck have a decent match.
