Edinburgh are not managing the mauls well. They're not managing the 22 well at all - they've had so many opportunities, scrums and line-outs and not managed to nail it down. They've conceded nine penalties and the last five or six have come inside the Connacht 22.

Edinburgh have made an awful meal of the field position they've enjoyed for almost the entire half. A little knock-on here, a bungled line-out there. They spill possession from a maul just inside the Connacht 22 and it looks like they'll end the half with just seven points on the scoreboard.

This time, Connacht get a good shunt on the scrummage and Pyrgos has to scramble to collect the loose ball. He's isolated and turned over, and Connacht clear ball up to the 22m line

Well, Andy Friend has seen enough of a backpedaling scrummage. He's taken off loose-head Conan O'Donnell and brought on Peter McCabe.

It doesn't halt the set-piece woes, however, as Connacht concede another scrum penalty.

Van der Walt prods a wee grubber in behind the Connacht rush defence. It's dealt with by O'Halloran with Van der Merwe breathing down his neck.

The visitors have conceded yet another penalty - I make that their seventh of the evening - and Edinburgh can come again with a scrum.

Brilliant few minutes of rugby there as both sides go toe-to-toe, attacking and defending. It culminates in another stupendous bit of breakdown work from Stuart McInally, who gets over ball and wins a penalty.

Edinburgh take it quickly and Connacht aren't back 10m, so Van der Walt sticks it into the corner again.

Edinburgh's discipline was immaculate. They didn't give away soft penalties in the 10-11 phases Connacht were attacking the 22.

Again, Edinburgh force a vital turnover seven metres from their own line. I think it was Hamish Watson who got over the ball and ground it away from the Connacht carrier. Pyrgos boots it out on the 22m line.

Back roar Connacht, though, Edinburgh overthrowing the line-out and Paul Boyle the number eight shows searing pace to sprint up to the home 22.

Connacht have the ball and the momentum deep in Edinburgh territory.

Connacht concede a penalty straight from the kick-off and Van der Walt kicks Edinburgh back into the provinces' half. Line-out on the Connacht 10m line.

It's a really, really soft penalty - the defenders wandering up offside needlessly

Edinburgh have 72% possession and 81% territory - now Connacht are down to 14 men. The only thing Edinburgh haven't done is move the scoreboard.

Jarrad Butler has batted the ball out of Pyrgos' hands from an offside position and the Connacht captain will be spending 10 minutes in the sin bin.

Blair Kinghorn fields a loose kick and goes searing into the Connacht 22. He feeds Hamish Watson, sprinting all-out for the try-line...it's a phenomenal cover tackle to bring the flanker down a yard or two from the line.

And now we're checking for an infringement on Henry Pyrgos as he went to clear the ball from the ruck.

You need the grubber kick to be a 70-80% chance of you getting the ball back rather than giving it away. It's the decision-making, they want to keep ball in hand in that situation.

Another visit to the Connacht 22 ends without any Edinburgh points. Blair Kinghorn's grubber kick is grounded by O'Halloran.

Bill Mata has height, aggression, gets his arms free and gives you off-loads. They're not getting that today. They're crashing the ball up and doing it well but there isn't that off-loading threat. The off-load is what puts defences on the back foot and gets them worried. They don't have that at the moment, no-one in that forward pack is a Bill Mata.

Duhan van der Merwe goes thundering up the left touchline, but Niyi Adeolokun and Tiernan O'Halloran combine to haul him down on the 22m. Connacht try to intercept the winger's off-load but spill it forward and it's Edinburgh's scrum in the danger zone again.

What a wonderful turnover from Stuart McInally, as Connacht attack for the first time in the half. The captain brings down Tiernan O'Halloran behind the gain line, leaps to his feet and wrestles the ball away from the prone full-back.
