    Ben Whitehouse is very clear there that there was mitigation. I'm not actually sure Schoeman was looking to make a tackle it happened so fast.

    You see a lot of these incidents in the game at the moment but I think they have got that one right.

    Edinburgh 14-10 Connacht

    Connacht's coaching team want a red for the Scotland prop, but the officials decide there's enough mitigation there to bring it down to a yellow.

    Jack Carty then pops over the conversion to cut the lead to four points.

    Over they go.

    Edinburgh's defence is breached after several phases, and there could be more punishment for Edinburgh here.

    Pierre Schoeman caught his man high in a tackle, which the TMO is checking.

    Blair Kinghorn looks so dangerous.

    That ability to just bounce out of tackles, and the athleticism, speed and skill he has got to actually manufacture that pass.

    Edinburgh 14-3 Connacht

    The TMO says all is well, after which Ben Healy knocks over the conversion.

    Connacht came from 17 points down last week against Ulster though, so there's life in this game yet.

    Ben Vellacott

    Edinburgh's first try wasn't half bad, but this one might just eclipse it!

    Duhan van der Merwe starts it off, stepping past Jack Carty after a clever offload from Blair Kinghorn.

    The giant winger hares down the line, before passing inside to Ben Vellacott who holds off a couple of defenders to dot down.

    Hang on though - the TMO wants a second look at something.

    There's a collector's item.

    Ben Healy misses his mark off the tee - that's his first miss in an Edinburgh shirt.

    John Barclay
    Former Scotland captain on Viaplay

    Edinburgh have had to do very little to actually make their way up the pitch.

    Connacht's discipline was actually very good in the first half but you can just see the impact poor discipline has on the side.

    A penalty goes Edinburgh's way, and Ben Healy calls for his kicking tee.

    David Hawkshaw is on in John Porch's place.

    Bill Mata smashes his way over the gainline to restart the action.

    Edinburgh 7-3 Connacht

    John Porch mistimes his leap and clatters Blair Kinghorn, gifting Edinburgh a penalty and injuring himself in the process.

    Looks like a pretty nasty gash down his shin, and he's having to be taken off on a stretcher.

    Jack Carty kicks high into the night sky, and we are back under way.

    Just as I polish off last night's leftovers, the players are back out in Edinburgh.

    The wise words of their coaches ringing in their ears, I'm sure.

    Edinburgh winger Darcy Graham speaking to Viaplay Sports at half-time:

    "I think this game is going to go right down to the wire.

    "Whatever team is fit enough is going to take it."

    Edinburgh go through phase after phase, but the ball goes to ground and the players head for the warmth of the changing rooms.
