  2. Player of the Match - Darcy Grahampublished at 21:36 British Summer Time 15 April 2023

    FT: Edinburgh 45-21 Ospreys

    Darcy Graham scored two superb tries tonight, and he has been named Player of the Match on the TV.

    "Really nice being back home," he said to Viaplay. "We owed the fans a performance tonight and we did that. We've been working hard on that move and it came off [for my first try].

    "[Mike Blair] has been massive for the club. He's a quality coach and the way he plays suits me, so I hope he sticks around.

    "As players we've not stepped up and performed this season, and that's not good enough on our part.

    "Touchwood that's my injury runs over, and I can go flying into the World Cup."

    Emiliano Boffelli has seen enough and belts the ball into touch.

    A stellar performance from Edinburgh only goes to highlight just how disappointing this season has been.

    Ospreys hit back, but it will be too little, too late.

    Sam Parry goes over after another strong rolling maul.

    The conversion flies through.

    What a try!

    Blair Kinghorn shapes to kick a penalty to touch, but taps-and-goes and throws a pass out wide to James Lang, who has acres of space in front of him.

    The two remaining defenders rush up, so Lang cleverly dinks a kick in behind, which Darcy Graham races onto to score his second try of the night.

    Brilliant stuff from Kinghorn to start it all off.

    Edinburgh are back into the Ospreys 22, but the visitors do really well to hold the ball up and win the feed at the scrum.

    Luke Morgan drops a straightforward high ball, and Edinburgh will have a scrum just inside the Ospreys half.

    Darcy Graham is back, and he's back with a bang!

    He takes the ball at pace, breaks through Adam Beard's flimsy attempt at a tackle, before wriggling away from Luke Morgan to score in the corner.

    A brilliant finish from the Hawick flyer, who has shone when available, despite Edinburgh's struggles this season.

    Emiliano Boffelli can't add the extras on this occasion.

    Edinburgh 35-14 Ospreys

    Ospreys are pinged for slowing down the ball with Edinburgh threatening, and Morgan Morris is duly shown yellow.

    The visitors had just returned to their full compliment after Rhys Davies' return, but are immediately back down to 14 players.

    Great work from the Ospreys forwards who drive their way over after a lineout.

    Dewi Lake does what all good hooker do, and flops over - that's his second of the game.

    Conversion successful.

    Not a lot to report from the opening stages of this second half.

    Edinburgh aren't quite clicking in the same way as the were before the break.

    That is that for the first half in Edinburgh.

    The hosts have blown Ospreys away. Where has that sort of rugby been for the last few weeks?

    Edinburgh finish the first half with a flourish.

    Edinburgh march over off the back of their lineout, and Hamish Watson takes the applause of a jubilant home crowd.

    They are enjoying this after being starved of success recently.

    Emiliano Boffelli continues his perfect record off the tee.

    Lucky boy.

    It's only yellow for Rhys Davies.

    James Lang then misses touch from the resulting penalty.

    Ouch.

    Ospreys flanker Rhys Davies might be in trouble here.

    A late challenge on Darcy Graham after a kick and there's contact with Graham's head.

    Not only is it dangerous, it's completely unnecessary.
