Blair Kinghorn won't be happy, he is being shoved a lot of very average passes.

Here come Edinburgh again.

A lovely floated pass from Blair Kinghorn finds Wes Goosen, who takes the hosts into the Connacht 22 once more.

However, Pierre Schoeman knocks-on as the Irish side's defence stands firm again.

Connacht look so organised in how they are tying to exit their own half at the moment.

It is really impressive stuff.

There's steam coming off the scrum, such is the nippy temperature in the capital.

Nice and toasty at my desk though.

Connacht defend the maul expertly.

They will have a scrum and the chance to clear their lines.

Some great work from Pierre Schoeman, on his 100th Edinburgh appearance, getting over the ball and winning a penalty at the breakdown.

Ben Healy kicks the resulting penalty into the Connacht 22.

In among all the chaos you're going to find space.

It's all about which team can be brave and exploit that better.

Connacht make their way into the Edinburgh 22, but some excellent work at the breakdown wins Edinburgh the ball back.

Tom Dodd then shows some footballing ability to hack downfield.

Ben Healy is winning the kicking battle for Edinburgh so far.

Another well judged kick has John Porch backpedalling, and the Connacht winger then doesn't get much distance on his kick to touch.

Here's a look at the moment of the game so far - Wes Goosen's excellent try.

Tom Daly does well to put Ben Healy under pressure, and Tom Dodd is is then pinged at the breakdown.

More Connacht territory for Edinburgh to deal with.

Duhan van der Merwe gets his paws on the ball for the first time this evening and blasts Edinburgh over halfway.

And they get it.

The lineout is overthrown and Jack Carty then loses the ball forward in contact.

Edinburgh give away a silly penalty as they look to exit, and Connacht kick to the corner.

The hosts need a big defensive set here.

It's been a really lively start here, as both sides look to play with pace and width.

Blair Kinghorn hammers a kick to touch to calm things down somewhat.

Referee Ben Whitehouse peeps his whistle, and away we go...

The players are out in the shadow of Murrayfield.

Edinburgh in their blue home strip; Connacht in all green.

Kick-off is just around the corner, but first the stadium falls silent to mark Armistice Day.

It's been two very different starts to the URC season for Edinburgh and Connacht.

Sean Everitt's side have won two of their three games, but performances haven't been great and they were particularly poor last time out in their defeat to Leinster

Meanwhile the Irish side have shown real battling qualities in their three wins, particularly in their comeback win over Ulster.

Tadgh McElroy and Sean O’Brien make their first Connacht starts this evening, as head coach Pete Wilkins makes eight changes to the XV that beat Ulster.

Tom Daly and John Porch also make their first appearances of the season, Andrew Smith comes in on the wing, Peter Dooley starts in the front row, while Murray brothers Niall and Darragh are the two locks.

Jack Carty captains the Galway side from fly-half.
