Bit underwhelmed by that one, tbh: http://www.edinburghgunners.org.uk/matchday/reports

But a win's a win etc.

Well I enjoyed it. A bonus point win against a French team not to be sniffed at. Thought we dug in really well and in the main kept our heads.

I missed match live and have watched it back, thought it was pretty decent. BP win against last years Top14 finalists, week after we should have beaten sarries who are 9/9 in prem is not too shabby.

There was some inaccuracy again and injuries to mcinally and Kinghorn are a concern but a lot of decent play against tough opposition.

Some strong performances, Crosbie really pushing for the 6N especially with darge and Watson out he must be in with a shout.

Savala looks composed, lang playing well, thought young had a decent shift as well.

Agree - a hard fought BP win against a tough French team I snot to be sniffed at. Castres targeted this fixture so a win was good. Most pleasing thing was that the subs came on and stood up to the test. Savala in particular didn't look out of place one bit and had some nice touches. With McInally and Kinghorn off injured and the likes of Graham, VdM, Watson, Skinner, Bennet, Hainnning and Cherry unavailable that's 9 internationalists we were missing and we were stretched but the guys who came in were excellent. Beginning to build some real depth to the squad but still a bit light of quality at TH.
