On a sidenote why isn't the pro 12 working for the Italians? It got me thinking as I watched the Sunwolves play the bulls the other day and I was very, very impressed. Sure they lost but they played some lovely rugby at times against a team much, much better than them on paper. I can see them improving over the next few years. It Ities show no sign of improvement at all. Stodgy, aimless and boring rugby.

Bradbury is a lot bigger than I remember. Is that guy still growing.
As about to say that, nice to see that his first instinct isn't to smack it aimlessly up the park.

Did Sarto accidentally nut Du Prez there?

Tovey has always been a promising player and on the verge of a Wales cap. They just have a ridiculous amount of talent at 10.

Bradbury, holy f*ck.

Burleigh did very well to retain that ball. Hopefully it didn't go forward.

Young Bradbury has quite a lot of development to do after all. That was a walk in.

Credit where it's due, that was very well read by a scrambling defence.

In fairness to our backs, this might be a bit ropey for a while, they haven't seen the ball for about 6 months.

The defence was never going to reach the outside man in time. He chose not to give the pass.

I'm not worried, he has a lot of rugby ahead of him.

Edinburgh just don't change do they? 3 points ahead on the scoreboard after almost 30 minutes of playing all the rugby. Forwards are going well with some impressive individual performances but toothless in attack... no patterns, non existent running lines. This result should have been put to bed by now.

I've not seen it again, but that looked like a blitz defence to me. Caught him man and ball.

Jesus, that last passage of play on our goal one was a shambles from both sides.

Just re-watched it and you might be right, Kinghorn looks in front of Bradbury on the outside just a touch.

Get out of jail card for Edinburgh there. Horrendous. How is this a 3-0 game on a mild, dry night.

Surely watching us is penance enough... Doubling up like that makes me think you have a lot to pay penance for. Do you kick orphans in your spare time? Is that what you do Baz? Do you kick orphans? In your spare time? It is isn't it? You orphan kicking bastard. People like you killed Jesus.

Got way with one at the end there.

That was never proven although it's one of the reasons they want to put cameras in the backs of the ambulance.

Just switched on. 3-0 at half time, at home?

This looks rough from the grunters.

Luckily Haimona doesn't seem to want the ball.

Why is Roddy Grant a water boy for Edinburgh? I thought he was full time forwards coach for LS...?

Same shite as every game this season. They play like 15 headless chickens in attack.

Those three points though mate. Songs will be written about it.
