In defence of BK and the Mckenzie try you'll see that BK has had to step inside as there was no one covering the 13. Barrett misses him out and the pass goes wide to Mckenzie and at the point BK is miles away from him. The fact he gets as close as he does is laudable. Turner? He falls over.

I didn't think we'd win this game. I didnt see any Scot say we would. We hoped & ultimately didn't quite get there but even as the jaded person I am there was lots to be encouraged about as that AB team is still better than anyone in the 6N. Are they SA good? No, but thats a different level.

Well done to D'arcy Rae. Did well despite the press he got ahead of the game.

Thats out of date as is the number of appearances. He is currently at the club. Hes a good young prospect not a 32 year old one trick pony

Couple of early Saturday stats for the happy Edinburgh Rugby fans.
1. Thats our 2nd highest ever win to nil. The best being back in 2014 also v Benetton 48-0
2. The reported attendance of 6763 is our highest ever v Benetton.

Whitehouse has reffed Edinburgh v Irish teams 5 times in the last 5 years. We have won 0 of them. Our win ratio otherwise against Irish teams in that period is 30%. Make of that what you will.

If he isn't then we've still got Watson, Dodd, Ollie Duncan. Muncaster also played 7 so there's plenty to mix and match with and who've actually played some rugby more recently than January

So grateful for that insight from Brown. Just a shame he stopped before explaining what that vision might look like.

If only I could. I can forgive early season handling errors as they've been in every game but we bring on Duhan but then kick away possession and he has what 2 carries?

Well I guess that new attitude didn't survive the off season after all. The attack? well I can't say that died because it wasn't even born

Pleasure to be at Kingaton Park to see Newcastle take their first steps as Red Bulls. Even got to see an old Embra man in Murray McCallum score a try on his 50th appearance for them
