Player of the match Darcy Graham tells Premier Sports: "There was a bit of pressure. This season we've had good wins backed up by a loss. There's been inconsistency. It's now about getting a big win away.
"The first ten minutes was loose - I was blowing. For the fans to watch it was excellent. Second half we knew our fitness would kick in and we'd blow them away. I'm really proud of the boys because Bayonne came at us hard.
"We can fire into the 1872 Cup now. The next two games are going to be quality. We want to be moving the ball about - that's our game plan, and Glasgow are the exact same."
Darcy Graham ducks under one tackle to scoot towards the line, and somehow gets the ball down under immense pressure from the scrambling visitors' defence.
It's strength and tenacity personified from the little man, and Edinburgh are well on their way to a five-point win.
