Conditions far better for them than us.My heart sank when I saw the rain.
Despite that could and should have won.
These are the games we have to be winning if we are to make the play-offs and Champions Cup.

So as it turns out, far from being a 'statement win', last week was just yet another false dawn.

Pretty much. Questions need to be asked of the international players as to why the performance level went down with them coming back.
Was really quite angry after the game yesterday.

I think the difference this time is that we can make changes if people are off form. It Pyrgos and VDW drop their form we should give Groom and Hickey a go, I think for too long players have boon comfy knowing they are almost undroppable.
if Bennet is part of the protocol then he will be due a break this week. So will be a good chance for taylor to play with Scott. I know Dean is injured is Johnston too?

If home form is maintained then just getting that away % up to 40+ should be sufficient. Not easy but 3 more away wins (from 7 fixtures) plus a few bonus points should put Edinburgh well into the playoff spots.
Winger Darcy Graham is recovering from a quad strain picked up playing for Scotland against Japan at the World Cup last month and will not be back in action for another two to three weeks, but fellow internationalists Grant Gilchrist, Ben Toolis, John Barclay, Jamie Ritchie and Simon Berghan will all come back into the selection mix this weekend.
