FT: Edinburgh 19-22 Sharks
Edinburgh head coach Mike Blair on Viaplay: "We weren't accurate enough. "Had we won that at the end that would have been one of the best Edinburgh victories we've had.
"We just got sloppy at times and that was the difference. We struggled in the first 20 minutes, but once the game opened up a bit, we felt that took away their line speed.
"We weren't able to get as many broken field opportunities in the second half. It's a tough one to take because we put so much out there, but that's professional sport. Sharks defended so well at the end there."

It's now or never...
