    Edinburgh 27-3 Cardiff

    Cardiff have started brightly here.

    Rhys Priestland dinks a lovely little kick over the top, and Rey Lee-Lo runs onto it. His pass doesn't go to hand though and the chance is gone.

    The centre has a wry smile on his face as he watches the replay.

    Mark Bennett is a tremendous rugby player. His international career hasn't kicked on as we expected it to, partly because of injuries and partly because of the emergence of quality players. He is such an asset in this form, and it was a brilliant finish for his try

    Quality recognition of space. Jamie Ritchie does really well to keep his width and then as the Cardiff defence fly across, he just gives it inside to James Lang - another quality score.

    That missed kick is the last action of the half, one which Edinburgh have dominated.

    James Lang

    Gorgeous rugby!

    Blair Kinghorn floats a huge miss pass over to Jamie Ritchie, who is waiting out wide. The flanker catches and pops the ball back inside to James Lang who crashes over.

    Conversion missed.

    Edinburgh 22-3 Cardiff

    The last few minutes have been fairly scruffy. Edinburgh win a penalty after some kick tennis, which Emiliano Boffelli kicks into the corner.

    Edinburgh will be looking for a bonus point try before half-time...

    Again, it's simple Edinburgh attack. A miss pass from Kinghorn to Bennett, and then it's great work from Boffelli and Bennett in the corner

    Mark Bennett

    A first phase try off the back of the scrum!

    Mark Bennett spread the play wide to Emiliano Boffelli initially, before getting the ball back off his winger to score.

    Boffelli adds a fantastic conversion from the touchline.

    Mark Bennett looks to have scored in the corner here.

    If he has got the ball down, then it's a superb finish.

    Emiliano Boffelli

    Edinburgh go bang bang!

    They stretch the play again, and this time it's Mark Bennett who races through a hole. He finds Emiliano Boffelli on the outside, who does not have to break stride.

    The Argentine cannot add the extras this time though.
