Final score could have been an awful lot worse, a major brain fart and lack of concentration at times pre-sending off an issue.

After the red card we had no chance, but at least we didn't cave in. Some good performances, Ritchie and Watson doing particularly well. I thought Fowles did ok, but Weir offers zero attacking threat - what has happened to him over the last few months, or was he always this bad and I just didn't notice? Time for Tovey to get a start.

I lost faith in Weir years ago, he is a very good place kicker but adds exactly nothing in an attacking handling sense.
Given the fact that Weir should/will be no-where near the Scotland squad & his continuing poor form for Edinburgh there is little point in him being @ Edinburgh.
I reckon Finlay Christie should be recruited (added incentive of a potential place in the Scotland squad) & the old chestnut of who plays 10 for Edinburgh!!!!!!!!!! - Baggott can't be any worse presently.

On speed and fitness, I think that Gilchrist and Nel need sidelined for a while and sent off to get themselves fit (along with CdeP). All have been injured and need to get back to match fitness and while game time may be beneficial to their rehab, let's get them in shape first of all.
