Some SA players did not cover themselves in glory, The Montpellier scrum was disgraced by the Edinburgh props, Jannie du Plessis scrummed against Pierre Schoeman and it reminds me of what happened when Janniee and Steenkamo was in full retreat in scrums against Argentina, The result was a string of scrum penalties against Montpellier/
Platers who stood out for Edinburgh was Van der Walt, WP Neel, Pierre Schoeman and DH van der Merwe. For Montpellier I cannot really think of any standout player, For any one thing their players did - they buggered up two,
Fat Fransie had two good ball carries - but the gave away a penalty for hanging onto the ball, Du Plessis scored a try, but then used a stiff arm tackle leading to a penalty, Bismarck played - but did not achieve much.
Edinburgh top their pool with 23 points. They won 5 of their 6 pool games.
