To play 2 European games followed by 2 derbies and it took to the 38th minute of the 4th match for us to concede any points in the second half of the games is testimony to the effort, hard work and commitment of the players and coaches. Well done guys.
That's quite a stat, and it's all the more frustrating given our second half performances against Ulster, Zebre and Dragons where we should have won if we'd have had the sort of nous and heart shown in recent weeks.
And this hits the nail square on the head. After two tremendous wins against one of the best teams in the league, we simply must back it up with the same level of performance (or better) next week, otherwise nothing has changed from the Edinburgh of the past.
Realistically, the Kings game is far more of a test of the "new" Edinburgh than the Glasgow game is. We know we can raise our game to beat a big team when we need to. But can we maintain the same mentality and level of intensity against a so-called weaker team - that is the key test.
But for tonight, let's just toast a famous away win - well done lads, proud of you
