Good all round performance. Never thought we'd be disappointed at not having a 5 point win!
Tom English can go LawrenceBryce himself with a pineapple though:
Duncan Hodge's side were missing a handful of Test players, denied him at the behest of the Scotland management before next Saturday's Test against Australia, but his absent men were as nothing compared to those shorn from Ulster ranks.
The visitors had to make do without 11 Ireland internationals and Edinburgh took advantage. They were ahead after three minutes when Mata sauntered through a chasm in the Ulster defence. Tovey, who controlled much of the match at 10, knocked over the conversion.
By my count Edinburgh were missing 7 internationals, 1 international injured and 1 in waiting (Dell) due to injury or internationals. Given that most of those concentrate on the front row and openside I'd say those absentees were equally problematic for Edinburgh.
