    Lions get some much-needed possession and territory, but visiting full-back Quan Horn's kick over the top rolls dead.

    Nothing is quite clicking for the South African outfit.

    Edinburgh have started with a very high tempo here and the Lions are struggling to cope.

    Wes Goosen looks dangerous every time he gets the ball and Vellacott is getting the ball away quickly at ruck time to keep the momentum of the attacks high.

    Clever dart through a gap from the scrum-half for that try.

    Ben Vellacott eyed the space and goes quickly - a proper scrum-half's try.

    Edinburgh kept the ball alive and kept it moving for multiple phases.

    Ben Vellacott

    Lions never got set in defence after that initial break from Wes Goosen.

    The full-back carries again close to the line and Ben Vellacott snipes from the resulting ruck to score.

    Ross Thompson drags his conversion wide in windy conditions.

    Wes Goosen is in the mood tonight.

    He's already scored one try tonight and he goes through the gears to glide into Lions' 22.

    This is a big chance for Edinburgh.

    What a start! Edinburgh come flying out the traps.

    Wes Goosen marks his 50th appearance for Edinburgh with a try.

    Real statement of intent from the home side.

    Wes Goosen

    It takes Edinburgh just 80 seconds to carve their way through.

    They get quick ball and set Darcy Graham free down the left, he finds Ross McCann, who in turn releases Wes Goosen.

    It's a stroll to the line and a perfect way to start.

  12. Lions mauled by Warriors last time outpublished at 19:58 British Summer Time 4 April

    Edinburgh v Lions (20:00 BST)

    Lions have been in Europe for a few weeks now, but haven't had the best of times on their travels.

    A 20-17 loss against Cardiff was followed by a comprehensive 42-0 defeat by Glasgow Warriors last weekend.

    Edinburgh will be keen to compound those recent issues this evening.

    In Edinburgh's season, every game is knockout rugby now even in the URC, with the race for top eight.

    Lions are similar as well. Both teams will want to win and it should be evenly matched.

  14. Four changes for Edinburghpublished at 19:51 British Summer Time 4 April

    Edinburgh v Lions (20:00 BST)

    Ross McCann starts in place of Scotland wing Duhan van der Merwe, who is out until next month because of an ankle injury, in one of four Edinburgh changes.

    Hooker Dave Cherry is back in the XV for the first time since starting all five of Scotland's games in the recent Six Nations, while Javan Sebastian starts at tighthead prop after Paul Hill suffered a back spasm. Sam Skinner starts at lock.

    Full-back Wes Goosen, who signed a new two-year deal this week, makes his 50th Edinburgh appearance.
