  1. Goodbye!published at 17:25 Greenwich Mean Time 28 December 2024

    Well, that's us for 2024.

    It's been a year where Edinburgh impressed and frustrated in equal measure, as they showed at times today.

    It's also been a year in which Glasgow won silverware, lifting the URC trophy out in South Africa. Don't rule out it happening again.

    For now, both sides have bragging rights of sorts for a while.

    Until next time, have a good one!

  2. Proud Everitt sees 'how good Edinburgh can bepublished at 17:18 Greenwich Mean Time 28 December 2024

    FT: Edinburgh 10-7 Glasgow Warriors

    Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt tells BBC Scotland: "I'm very proud. It was tough week for all of us. We're all in it together, we put in the hard yards, put in some really good conversations through the week.

    "It wasn't easy to identify what was wrong. It was about recognising, if we get it right how good we can be. Tonight, it was a dominant performance although the scoreboard doesn't suggest that.

    "If I was on the losing end, I'd be really disappointed. Defensively we were strong tonight. We had weak moments lats week but we put a lot of pressure on them in attack, although it didn't lead to tries.

    "Compliments to Glasgow. To keep us out for those long periods of time was really good from them. A great game, although the scoreline might not suggest that."

    FT: Edinburgh 10-7 Glasgow Warriors

    Glasgow Warriors head coach Franco Smith tells BBC Scotland: "It's not that tough to take. I thought Edinburgh did really well so compliments to them.

    "We kept on knocking on the door. They were much more organised, much better than last week. I don't think we got much wrong, they got so much right.

    "To bounce back from last week's defeat is fantastic for them. I'm proud of my boys anyway, they stayed in the fight. There was some misfortune here and there, we could have won the game.

    "They got together this week and produced, as they did after the Lions defeat earlier in the season. They are a quality team, we've said that all year. They've got some character and they proved that again tonight."

  4. Glasgow Warriors win 1872 Cuppublished at 17:04 Greenwich Mean Time 28 December 2024

    One of the least enthusiastic trophy lifts you'll ever see.

    They've won the 1872 Cup, winning by sixteen points over the two legs.

    But they're not happy. They've been beaten on the day and they look to be in no mood to celebrate retaining this trophy.

    It's how Edinburgh implement their game when there's not the same hurt from last week, or the personal duels that each and every player lost last week.

    How do they do it on a cold, dark night in Connacht or when Cardiff come to the Hive - how do they make sure they put in that performance?

    FT: Edinburgh 10-7 Glasgow Warriors

    Edinburgh centre Mosese Tuipulotu tells BBC Scotland: "It was unreal. The atmosphere was crazy when I walked out. We're super stoked to get the win.

    "We knew we had to bounce back after last week, it was pretty disappointing. I'm just proud of the boys.

    "At the start of the week, our defensive leaders - Jamie Ritchie and Grant Gilchrist - really drove the week. They got us in the right mood for this game.

    "We felt like we felt a couple of points out there. That's the bench mark, we've got to keep moving forward. When we come back, we've got to step it up a bit."

  7. 'It's a sore one' - Dargepublished at 16:57 Greenwich Mean Time 28 December 2024

    FT: Edinburgh 10-7 Glasgow Warriors

    Glasgow flanker Rory Darge tells BBC Scotland: "With these games, the most important thing is the league points. We've picked up a losing bonus point and that's it, so it's a sore one.

    "It's difficult to stay. There's loads of different things. It wasn't just the breakdown, or attack or defence. There were loads of things that were a six or seven out of 10, rather than eight or nine like last week.

    "We all have to try and figure out why that happened and make sure we don't allow ourselves to move forward like that.

    [On Europe] "We got a good result against Sale and pushed Toulon right to the end. We're excited by the next two games, one at Scotstoun and one down at Quins. Loads to play for and if we perform well in those two games, the results takes care of themselves."

    Fair dues to Edinburgh.

    It's a one-off game for them. They won a real battle. Defensively, absolutely outstanding. They played the ref to a tee.

    They were worthy winners and it shows what they can do when they put their minds to it. But you have to do it against all the teams, you can't just do it against your rivals.

    It gets their league campaign back on track but they have a lot of work to do yet.

    Fair play, I didn't think Edinburgh would have the gumption to do it.

    They found a way to upset Glasgow's rhythm, to silence their devastating runners and they did it with defiant defence.

    They turned up today in a gritty, ferocious way and they deserved their victory.

    There is a pulse.

    Edinburgh bounce back with a narrow win over their nearest rivals.

    Their rivals, the Glasgow Warriors, who embarrassed them last week.

    Just six days later though, they've beaten them in front of 40,000 fans at Murrayfield.

    Glasgow fling it wide and the ball slips out of Ally Miller's hands and goes dead.

    30 seconds left, Edinburgh are three points ahead, and they should have a big win here.

    Forget the 1872 Cup, this is a huge boost for Sean Everitt's side in the league.

    Just as Edinburgh were building some ascendancy, Glasgow win the penalty and get their usual maul going from the line-out.

    It's not about the 1872 Cup now, that's the Warriors. It's all about the URC points.

    Sione Tuipulotu crashes into the Edinburgh 22m but he's held up and Edinburgh turnover.

    Sam Talakai, Alex Samuel and Grant Stewart are on for the final 10 minutes for Glasgow.

    Can they add to what is sure to be a dramatic conclusion?

    Edinburgh turnover a ruck, and Pierre Schoeman puts through a grubber kick?!

    Matt Currie scrambles to get it, Edinburgh have the advantage, but Ali Price finds Schoeman who wrestles his way to the line.

    Ben Healy nails the conversion and Edinburgh lead by three again.

    Glasgow will get another crack at this. Gregor Hiddleston with the throw... and here comes the backs into the maul!

    They're rumbling towards the line, it crashes over, but Eoghan Cross is already scurrying underneath the posts to award a penalty try.

    They might not need it. Tom Jordan scoops the ball inside to Rory Darge who dives over the line, but Charlie Shiel and Ali Price appear to have done enough to hold it up.

    Eoghan Cross certainly doesn't think it's been touched down and he's got a good look at it.
