  1. Dragons 14-17 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh win a free-kick at a scrum after the Dragons engaged early, and captain Vellacott says, "we'll have another scrum please ref".

  2. Kick-off

    Dragons 14-17 Edinburgh

    Blair Kinghorn gets us back underway at Rodney Parade.

  3. Mistakes happen when you play attacking rugby

    HT: Dragons 14-17 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh aren't looking to play by numbers. They are probing, they're attacking, and that's difficult for the opposition from a defensive point of view. A couple of mistakes have brought Dragons back into the game, but that's what happens if you want to play attacking rugby.

  4. Half-time

    Dragons 14-17 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh's players celebrate as if they'd scored themselves!

    They force a penalty, and that's the last act of the half - the visitors lead by three points.

  5. Dragons 14-17 Edinburgh

    The Dragons have a penalty straight from kick-off.

    Edinburgh were offside from a clearing kick, and the hosts are just 5m out as we approach half-time...

  6. try

    Try - Dragons 14-17 Edinburgh

    Ramiro Moyano

    Given!

    A really good finish from Moyano, it has to be said.

    Kinghorn drags his conversion wide.

  7. TMO check

    Dragons 14-12 Edinburgh

    It looks like Moyano has scored his second try of the night for Edinburgh. It was hacked through after a scrappy bit of play, and the Argentine winger got there first.

    Just checking the grounding...

  8. Dragons 14-12 Edinburgh

    This game is absolutely breathless.

    Magnus Bradbury just manhandled two defenders to the floor, and made his way over half-way, but the subsequent kick goes out on the full, and the Dragons will have a scrum.

  9. try

    Try - Dragons 14-12 Edinburgh

    Jonah Holmes

    All square!

    The Dragons venture into Edinburgh's 22 for the first time, go through the phases, and it ends with a walk-in for Jonah Holmes.

    The home side showing off their own attacking prowess.

    Conversion successful.

  10. Dragons 7-12 Edinburgh

    The Dragons have grown into this contest, and Maksymiw rips the ball off an Edinburgh carrier brilliantly.

    They now have a penalty inside Edinburgh's half, which they kick into the corner.

    Chance...

  11. Dragons 7-12 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh's jumpers pulled down at the line-out, and Harri Keddie gets a talking to from the referee.

    Another line-out chance for Edinburgh, but the ball goes forward, and the Dragons survive.

  12. Dragons 7-12 Edinburgh

    Penalty to Edinburgh after Hoyland was tackled late - pretty cynical that.

    Kinghoirn drives the kick into the corner. Big chance for the visitors to extend their lead...

  13. try

    Try - Dragons 7-12 Edinburgh

    Sam Davies

    The hosts hit back!

    For the first time in the game, an Edinburgh pass doesn't go to hand; the Dragons break through Harri Keddie, who passes inside to Sam Davies to score.

    Davies converts his own score.

  14. 'Excellent again'

    Dragons 0-12 Edinburgh

    Fraser Brown
    Glasgow and Scotland hooker on BBC Radio Scotland

    Excellent play again. There's a willingness to keep the ball alive. We talk about structure all the time in rugby, but sometimes pace and tempo over structure is what you need.

  15. try

    Try - Dragons 0-12 Edinburgh

    Ramiro Moyano

    Brilliant rugby!

    It all starts with a break from Lang, Edinburgh keep the ball alive, and eventually give Moyano space to go over in the corner.

    A distinct Argentinian flavour to Edinburgh's attack tonight.

    Kinghorn can't add the extras.

  16. Dragons 0-7 Edinburgh

    It's been all Edinburgh in South Wales so far.

    The visitors again find themselves deep in Dragons territory, but the home side defend well and win a penalty that allows them to clear.

  17. Dragons 0-7 Edinburgh

    From the scrum, Ben Vellacott jinxes out to the right, and throws a long pass to Damian Hoyland, who gets all the way to the try-line, but cannot get the ball down.

    There was a penalty advantage from the scrum, and Vellacott opts for another scrum...

  18. Dragons 0-7 Edinburgh

    There's lots of fireworks going off in Newport, which were a bit of a novelty to start with, but after 10 minutes have become fairly irritating.

    On the pitch, the Dragons kick the ball dead in Edinburgh's in-goal, and the visitors have a scrum in a dangerous position.

  19. Dragons 0-7 Edinburgh

    Edinburgh cannot secure the ball from the line-out though.

    Jamie Roberts kicks out on the full however, and McBurnie will get another opportunity to find an orange jersey.

  20. Dragons 0-7 Edinburgh

    It's Edinburgh's forwards who make the statement!

    A huge nudge sends the Dragons backwards, and wins Edinburgh a penalty that Blair Kinghorn kicks towards the corner
