L'esprit de Clocher tends to kick in. Plus an initial away defeat doesn't kill anyone off with this format, there is no escape!

Maybe the good showing from the young players might mean itβs different this time and I live in hope but Iβm not going over the top due to one game.

Easy to mix up Liam and Darcy, Darcy is the one that thinks he's the size of Liam and won't hear anyone tell him otherwise....

Oh and to see we realise that our left winger is quite special if we get the ball to him in the right moments
FULL-TIME | A bonus point win for Edinburgh to mark their Champions Cup return
Analysis & reaction to follow...
Pre Ospreys game I said we would be awful but we'd beat Toulon, it's just what we do.
Progression is the next 3 games initially, and then maintaining it through to Europe again. Don't need to win every game, just need to show some consistency in terms of what we are.
The question now on every Edinburgh supporterβs lipsβ¦ Is this the turning point, the beginning of something, the start of SEβs rise as Head Coach of a team delivering on the star quality potential of its players? Or just another blip in an otherwise painful rugby supporting journey?

And genuinely, do we not think a book should have been thrown here? One of the greats knowingly and prolongingly stuck a digit in another person's eye socket. If that isn't something that should be held up as an example of something that's very bad then what is?!
