Harry Patterson had a bit about him. Schoeman was great coming off the bench. So was Willemse but Harrison for just out of school really is good. His sprint back double tackle was awesome.

Agreed with everything he said up to a point, but that point is he just can't completely ignore the direct hit to the head. Puts him totally out of kilter with the way every other ref is being told to penalise this. Even the TMO tried to point that out. Not sure if it would have been a penalty to Ulster - they'd then have looked at the tackle in the air, which I guess is the first piece of foul play - although tbf I didn't see it shown again.
Whitehouse's inconsistency is legend, but when you get Stephen Ferris saying he should have yellow carded an Ulster player for the deliberate knock down you know he's dropped a clanger. The card he showed straight after seemed pretty iffy to me.
But it was good, bad and indifferent from Edinburgh throughout. Sau is in great form. Not a great kicking night from Kinghorn. Ferris was also correct to point out that the support at rucks is very patchy. I suspect Charlie Shiel hit more rucks than most forwards simply because he was the only one there.

I think it's actually reffed the way Whitehouse refereed it:

There was genuinely no foul play from Morris. He was at textbook tackle position and height. He wrapped both arms and absolutely no chicken wing or swinging arm. It was picture perfect. You can't referee bad luck of a player being tackled into you and there's absolutely nothing to coach there.

Jamie Ritchie was tipped as a future Scotland captain when he signed from school, he has never wavered from that trajectory and he is the first name on my international team sheet, I really think he is Scotland’s best player right now.
Sau is in fine form
Bad bits - same old same old, we seem lost when faced with a simple blitz defence
