Edinburgh score after just 80 seconds. Wes Goosen the scorer. Not sure this is going to be good viewing for Lions fans!


Conversion is missed. 5-0 Edinbugh.

Interestingly Wesley Goosen was Born in East London and then moved to Wellington New Zealand.


Looks like a descent player…..

Vellacot scores. 10-0.


Lions looking clueless thus far.

Quan Horn makes a try-saving tackle but he's yellow carded for not releasing.

Jamie Ritchie is over. 15-0 to Edinburgh. Conversion is good. 17-0. This is hard to watch.

That's half time. 17-0 to Edinburgh and the Lions look like they're in for a hiding.

Lions having a much better start to the second half but still no points to show for it.

Great break by Edwill v d Merwe from his own 22 but he spoils it with a wild pass. Ref was playing advantage. Penalty Lions. They look a different team in this second half.

Good maul from the Lions and they're just short. Penalty 5m out and they go for the lineout.


The Lions maul again and this time they're over! Horn the skipper scores. The conversion is missed and it's 17-5. Come on Lions!

Now an attacking opportunity is snuffed out as a pass from Horn to Edwill is called forward . . . bit of a dodgy call I reckon. Come on Lions!

Game has become very scrappy now and the Lions have lost all their momentum. Still 17-5 to Edinburgh.

Ali Price scores and that's surely game over. Lions blew a scoring chance a few minutes earlier and Edinburgh made them pay.


Conversion is over and it's 24-5 with just 7 minutes to play.

Lions are over but it's held up . . . hang on, TMO is being asked but on-field decision is no try . . . TMO confirms grounding and the try is given.


24-10 with the kick to come . . . but only 4 mins left.
