    Edinburgh 12-12 Lions

    Brilliance from Emiliano Boffelli to leap above everyone and claim the kick-off.

    Edinburgh win a penalty as the Lions back peddle, and Blair Kinghorn kicks to the corner.

    Can they restore their lead?

    Henco van Wyk

    A try from nothing.

    Henco van Wyk isn't held in the tackle, so he gets back to his feet, shrugs off James Lang and races away to score unopposed.

    We're all level again.

    Utterly brilliant. Great break from Mata initially, and then two long passes out to Graham. In five metres, he's gone in and out - a classic finish. He manages to keep his feet in play too.

    It's that man again for Edinburgh!

    This is far from an easy finish - Quan Horn looked to have things in control for the Lions, but Graham stands him up and dives over to score in the corner.

    Emiliano Boffelli splits the posts from the touchline and Edinburgh lead by seven.

    A fairly uneventful last few minutes, but Edinburgh force a penalty at the breakdown after another strong carry from Bill Mata.

    Blair Kinghorn kicks into the Lions 22.

    Big chance...

    Henry Immelman links up with Darcy Graham, and the wee man looks to have escaped the grasp of Henco van Wyk, but the Lions centre makes a wonderful tackle to drag Graham into touch.

    Edinburgh kick a penalty into the Lions 22, and have a great attacking platform early in the second half.

    However, they get penalised for crossing at the lineout, and the chance is gone.

    The players are back out in Edinburgh.

    Mike Blair spoke about the importance of discipline ahead of kick-off, and I'm sure he will have reminded his players to switch on for this second half - they were sloppy at times in the opening 40.

    I thought Edinburgh for half an hour were on the front foot, dynamic, but they've only got five points to show for it. You can see how dangerous the Lions are. I hope that opening doesn't come back to haunt Edinburgh, because it's nip and tuck.

    A try apiece sees the teams head in level at the break.

    That try has given the Lions a new lease of life.

    They are finishing the first-half the stronger of the two sides.

    The Lions full-back steps off his right foot and dives over from close range.

    The conversion strikes the upright and bounces clear - not sure you can blame the wind for that one.

    The Lions are still firmly in this, and have worked their way deep into the Edinburgh 22.

    Big defensive set needed as we approach half-time...

    Darcy Graham is so, so good with ball in hand.

    He somehow keeps a kick in play, and then just as the defenders seem to have him cornered, he dances through a gap that didn't seem to exist.

    Edinburgh rush up in defence, and force Gianni Lombard to misplace a kick, which Henry Immelman races on to and scythes through a series of tackles.

    Two misses from two for the Lions number 10, as another kick sails wide.

    Silly from Edinburgh.

    They kick a penalty to touch, but ignore the referee's calls for them to get on with it, and the Lions are awarded a free-kick.

    The visitors then win a penalty after a poor up-and-under from Henry Immelman, and Gianni Lombard calls for his kicking tee.

    Edinburgh are straight back on the attack from kick-off after a great carry from Luke Crosbie.

    However, Luan de Bruin flies off his feet at a ruck, and the Lions get off the hook.

    That might be the first time that Peter Wright has ever praised a back-line, certainly for a maul!
