    Until next time, goodbye.

  2. 'Not a complete performance' - Everittpublished at 21:37 Greenwich Mean Time 28 March

    FT: Edinburgh 38-5 Dragons

    Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt tells Premier Sports: "Job done for us. It wasn't a complete performance but we got a bonus point and that's what we needed.

    "The guys really focused this week and a really good performance from Darcy Graham.

    "We've got to look at next week. The errors we made tonight, we will need to tidy them up.

    "We knew if we stopped their momentum at set-piece we would have a good chance and we did that tonight. Hats off to the team for a disciplined defensive performance."

  3. Vellacott critical of unforced turnoverspublished at 21:29 Greenwich Mean Time 28 March

    FT: Edinburgh 38-5 Dragons

    Edinburgh co-captain Ben Vellacott tells Premier Sports: "Credit to us for getting the win, but I'm going to be critical - a lot of unforced turnovers and if we do that next week against the Lions we're going to be under our posts a lot.

    "Having the international boys back is awesome, they've come with a lot of energy straight away and that's what you want around the group."

    Player of the match Darcy Graham tells Premier Sports: "Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing myself. It's good to have everybody back together and a good win tonight.

    "We've got the quality here and the gameplan, it's about sticking to it for the full 80 minutes."

    That is that.

    Edinburgh's performance fell off in the second half, but the result was never really in doubt.

    Dragons have lost their 13-straight league match while Sean Everitt's side bounce back from their defeat by Benetton last time out.

    Ali Price and Freddy Douglas are on for Edinburgh, with Ben Vellacott and Hamish Watson off.

    Despite that Boan Venter score, it's still pretty flat.

    For those of you wanting a Duhan van der Merwe update, the Scotland wing was pictured in a moon boot at half-time.

    Hopefully just a precaution.

    Edinburgh finally find a spark in this second half.

    Boan Venter gets his legs pumping from close range and does enough to get over the line.

    Cammy Scott adds the extras, having replaced Ross Thompson

    The air has gone out the balloon somewhat in this second half. Not much happening at all.

    Maybe Darcy Graham can conjure something out of nothing again to liven things up....

    No, they can't.

    Dave Cherry's throw is off target and Dragons nick possession back.

    Edinburgh win a penalty at scrum time and kick their way into Dragons' 22.

    Can the hosts click into gear?

    It's very stop-start at the moment.

    Nothing much happening and the crowd are flat as a result.

    Edinburgh get another rolling maul marching towards the line, but Dragons defend it well and win the feed at the resulting scrum.

    Edinburgh 26-5 Dragons

    Wes Goosen is deemed to have taken the ball back into his own 22 before booting the ball into the stands, but replays show that to be a mistake and the TMO overrules the on-field referee.

    Edinburgh 26-5 Dragons

    Dragons have done well since half-time to slow the game down and blunt Edinburgh's attack a little bit.

    They are still a long way behind, mind.

    Aaron Wainwright

    Dragons' main carrying threat gets them on the board.

    After multiple phases, Aaron Wainwright finds a soft shoulder and shoves his way to the line from close range.

    The conversion drifts wide though.

    Edinburgh 26-0 Dragons

    Really not much to report from the start of the second half.

    That might change here though as Dragons kick a penalty into the corner.
