Cameron Hanekom is heading off for the Bulls, a real blow.

It's softened by the addition of Marco van Staden. Not a bad replacement.

They manage to clear, and got far up the pitch before Wes Goosen puts a bit too much sauce on his kick through, and we come back for a scrum.

Edinburgh win the penalty though! Jan-Hendrik Wessels isn't happy.

The penalty matters not, as Jamie Ritchie pinches the ball back and Edinburgh are able to boot the ball away.

Canan Moodie is also back on, with a brand new shirt. He's wearing the number 24. A real collector's item.

Ritchie then steals the throw! But the next kick is charged down and they're back in their own 22m.

D'Arcy Rae is off for an HIA, and that leads to a rather messy sequence of events before a low-level skirmish breaks out.

Jamie Ritchie is at the bottom of a pile of bodies, while Jan-Hendrik Wessels seems to be plowing his head into Ritchie's dome.

Adam Jones gives them both a stern talking to, as well as the captains. Penalty goes to the Bulls.

Darcy Graham is back on, but Edinburgh have been marched down the pitch by a flowing torrent of Bulls jerseys. They concede two penalties and the Bulls go to the corner.

Chance for the hosts here.

Jamie Ritchie is pinged as he shoves the Bulls jumper in the line-out. Eagle-eyed from the referee, or perhaps a little harsh.

Either way, it presents Johannes with a pop at goal, and he knocks it over from distance.

Edinburgh fly up the pitch again, with Harry Paterson and Matt Currie combining well. They're all the way up into the Bulls 22m, but Mark Bennett slips as he tries to clear out and goes off his feet.

Penalty to the Bulls, and a bit of a let-off for the hosts.

It's a yellow card, according to referee Adam Jones.

De Klerk is trying to charge Graham down, but his shoulder catches Darcy Graham flush on the chin.

The crowd aren't happy, but it looks more clumsy than aggressive. Either way, it's contact to the head.

A contentious early moment. Darcy Graham takes a shoulder to the chops as he kicks ahead.

The Bulls field the ball, and aim at Edinburgh's right wing - where Graham is still strewn on the floor.

Adam Jones chooses not to stop the play, but the ball eventually leaves the field organically. They're now having a look at this.

It's not been too long since these two sides last met and Edinburgh sprung a surprise in the Challenge Cup quarters.

Sean Everitt's side held off a second-half fightback to secure a home semi-final, after two tries from James Lang and a Magnus Bradbury score put the hosts 24-7 up at the break.

Grant Gilchrist's try gave Edinburgh breathing space on the scoreboard before the Bulls came back strongly with a penalty try, one from Cameron Hanekom and a second from Kriel to set up a grandstand finish, but the hosts held on.

The aggregate score between these sides so far this season? 50-50.

Adam Jones is the referee, resplendent in his purple and fluorescent green kit.

Keaghan Johannes, the stand-in stand-off due to the absence of Johan Goosen, kicks us off.

Jamie asked: What is success for Edinburgh in the play-offs? Is it crazy to think Edinburgh have a better chance at the title than Glasgow?

Tom answered: I wouldn't say Edinburgh have a better chance. They have a really hard assignment away to Bulls on Saturday and if they win that then, on seeding, they'll be playing Sharks away in the semi-final and, again on seeding, Leinster away in the final.

That's a brutal run. If they win the URC then forget the chat about Sean Everitt keeping his job, the only thing up for debate at that point will be where to put his statue.

Glasgow Warriors continued their defence of the URC title last night by putting the Stormers to the sword, thereby booking their place in the last four.

Rory Darge, Kyle Rowe and Henco Venter crossed for first-half tries for the hosts, with a Seabelo Senatla try and eight points from the boot of Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu keeping the Stormers within six points at the break.

Senatla struck early in the second half for the South African side, but Glasgow responded with tries from George Horne and another from Rowe to ease home with a bit to spare.

Warriors will face either Leinster or Scarlets, who meet in Dublin on Saturday, in next weekend's semi-final.

Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt tells Premier Sports: "We're all excited, it's been a great week. We flew in on Wednesday and had a light couple of days. It's massive for the club, and for Scottish rugby.

"It was really good [braai]. Jake did some chops and ribs, his wife made a lovely salad. We had a good evening."

"We're always excited to play the Bulls. We played them five weeks ago and got the result, we'll take a lot of confidence out of that. It's a bigger challenge for us, but one we know we can win if we play well.

"It's about being really good in the first 20 minutes. They've scored 29 tries here in the first 20 minutes this season. It's about staying in the fight, like Glasgow did last year."

It's been an odd season for Edinburgh. For much of it, they flattered to deceive, struggling with the same problem that hamstrung them last year - inconsistency.

It was immensely frustrating to watch, given the talent on show. Pierre Schoeman and Duhan van der Merwe will be a touring Lions, while Jamie Ritchie and Darcy Graham will be high-up on the standby list.

Yet, they found a bit of momentum at the end of the season to defy the odds and book a place in the play-offs thanks to a triumphant win over Ulster.

Sean Everitt has been under pressure at times, but he's got his side going at the right time. Can they continue this run and do the unthinkable?
