Brilliant.

Im starting to feel vagley positive about Edinburgh under Cockerill

Reckon they could go all the way in the challenge cup and if they can win a couple of big games at home then they could pip Ulster to the 3rd spot

Going to be tough. They have played most of their "easy" games.

They are definitely trending upwards which is great to see.

From opta stats. Obviously they are not against the "big teams" but still good to see.

"In the Challenge Cup, Chris Dean leads the way in clean breaks with ten, joint with Gloucester’s Henry Purdy, with Blair Kinghorn just one behind.

Dean is also second, behind Newcastle Falcons’ Adam Radwan, on defenders beaten in the Challenge Cup with 23 opponents passed.

Edinburgh, already through to the quarter-finals, dominate the defenders beaten charts with Blair Kinghorn and Damien Hoyland joint third with 12"

What the fuck were any of the forwards doing for the first Stade try?

Asleep. They all had that dozy wtf look on their face after that one.

Yeah. Bradbury's expression of “I probably could have made a more effective tackle than SHC, but oh well” was not particularly impressive.

Hardie playing 7 for Hawick v Watsonians on Saturday.

Rory Hutton at 10 for watsonians.

Teams out. That looks pretty good to me considering the 6N starts so soon. Back 5 of the pack especially.

No Kinghorn. Interesting.

Good to see Sutherland back after limping off last week.

Looks like McInally, Toolis and Watson are nailed on for the Welsh game - as you would expect. Longhorn could be on bench.

King Blairhorn might just be given a rest.

It was his 21st during the week after all

Haha, true.

I think he'll bench though.

I also noticed the game is on BT so it'll be pish Nae doubt.

I hope so.

Toolis is brilliant and looks like the long term partner to JG at the moment but given the front row issues I think I'd prefer RG unless he's way off the pace. We will see.

Reid Rambo and Welsh is a solid front row. We are making excuses for ourselves if we say otherwise IMO.

The bench is clearly weaker and if Gray is a better scrummager, him off the bench is fine.

Toolis has been great for Scotland, is good in the loose and the set piece and deserves to start imo.

There's no team better at going to sleep than Edinburgh.

7 points conceded in the first couple of mins.

Are Edinburgh even here? Fowles or Graham should be covering kicks like that.

8 minutes 12-0

Darcy Graham struggling to play with the big boys.

I hope Cockerills plan was to put SF to sleep.
Fowles has been playing a very slow game. So slow, it looks planned.

HT - 12-00

Pitch is a potatoe patch.

Fowles is utter pony.

Actually he is as shite as this pitch. I'm pretty sure the teams looked for dog shit before they played.

Edinburgh go back to basics and get a try.
