Dear Edinburgh Supporter
What a fantastic result for Edinburgh Rugby on Sunday afternoon! We got what we had all been hoping for....victory over the reigning Heineken Cup Champs! Not only was it a win, but it was an outstanding performance from all of the men in black!

It seems that at last the rest of Europe may be starting to take some notice of our boys with EuroTable, the unofficial ranking of Europe's top rugby clubs, naming Edinburgh as their "Team of the Week". The Gunners have also now climbed up to 11th place in the rankings, their highest ever position! To read more, visit http://eurorugby.com/index.php
Well Done Boys!!
I am sure that I am not the only one who would like to say that we hope Simon Webster will be fit to face the Neath/ Swansea Ospreys on Friday night.

And lets all hope that he does not have long to wait to celebrate the final whistle of such an important match in Edinburgh! (The Celtic Cup Final is only 10 days away, in case anyone had forgotten!)

Neath/ Swansea Ospreys
But before we get too excited about the Cup Final, we have another tough trip down to Wales to face the Ospreys. These two sides met just under a month ago with the Ospreys winning 42-18. So let's hope that the boys can gain revenge and full points!
If you are planning on making the trip to support the boys please phone Ann at Edinburgh Rugby on 0131 346 5252, you may get a surprise!
