« Leicester rescued by dream debutant | | Does the Heineken Cup lack quality? »

Edinburgh lose the game and their heads

Writing in The Scotsman, Iain Morrison picks through the pieces of Edinburgh's Heineken Cup mauling at the hands of Stade Francais.

"It is happening a little too often for Edinburgh's dismal performance against Stade Francais to be dismissed as a bad day at the office. Edinburgh leaked four tries to the Ospreys last week, they conceded four to Leinster at the same stage of the Heineken Cup last year and Stade had their bonus point inside the half hour on Saturday.

"If the 12,000 capacity crowd in Stade Jean Bouin had lined up and demanded their money back they could have been forgiven because the second half of this match was an utter non-event which Edinburgh actually won 7-3. It's just as well that Stade's millionaire owner Max Guazzini had gifted a block of tickets to Edinburgh supporters who certainly deserved a refund."
