FT: Edinburgh 31-20 Castres
Edinburgh flanker Luke Crosbie has been awarded the player of the match award, and has been giving his thoughts to BT Sport.
"It was great," he said. "We wanted to build on what we did well against Saracens and it was a good win for the boys.
"You have to pitch up physically against the French sides, and I thought we did that.
"We've got a couple of big games against our friends over the M8, so we'll build on this and try to keep it going."

That should be that.

Castres reply immediately.

Ben Vellacott
The TMO sees nothing wrong with that, and the hosts have a bonus point try!
Chris Dean was just about onside from the original kick through, and then Martin Laveau makes a right meal of it, missing the ball entirely as he tried to touch down behind his own line.
Ben Vellacott makes no such mistake, and the try is good.
Emiliano Boffelli adds the extras.

There's a lot to look at here.
Edinburgh think they have scored through Ben Vellacott, but the officials want another look...

Edinburgh 21-13 Castres
A superb tackle from Wes Goosen on Thomas Larregain drags the Castres man into touch just as he looked poised to get away down the right wing.
Castres continue to ask questions, Edinburgh continue to come up with the answers.

The French side look menacing, but Jamie Ritchie and Grant Gilchrist hold up the ball carrier and win Edinburgh a scrum.

Andy Burke
BBC Scotland rugby reporter at the DAM Health StadiumYou'll see fewer spillages in the pubs of Edinburgh tonight than we've seen in this game. It really is desperately scrappy stuff.
And that's the way Castres want it. The home crowd are willing their team to step it up, and you sense if Edinburgh get the next score the French challenge could start to fade.

Charlie Savala knew he was in the clear as soon as he received that pass from James Lang.
Just look at his face!

Castres aren't out of this yet, by any means.
They have a lineout inside Edinburgh's 22 - the hosts need a big defensive set.

Charlie Savala
That is a lovely score!
Luke Crosbie's strong carry takes Edinburgh to within touching distance of the line, and then Ben Vellacott releases the backs.
James Lang pops a deft little pass into the path of the onrushing Charlie Savala, and Edinburgh's replacement fly-half races through a gaping hole to score under the posts.
Emiliano Boffelli adds the extras.

Emiliano Boffelli looks to the skies in anguish - he grasses the ball with open field opening up in front of him.
Edinburgh had a penalty advantage to fall back on though, and Boffelli kicks to the corner.

Edinburgh 14-13 Castres
Edinburgh aren't really going anywhere, so Charlie Savala puts boot to ball and finds touch just inside the Castres 22.
He's looked bright since he came on.
