  1. Goodbye!published at 15:27 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January

    That'll do us for the weekend. A comfortable win for Edinburgh, a bruising loss for Glasgow.

    And of course, we're all holding our breath to find out the news on Sione Tuipulotu's injury. Fingers crossed he's all okay, and it's nothing too serious.

    The place to find out this week will be our dedicated Scottish rugby topic page. Get it bookmarked!

    FT: Edinburgh 36-15 Black Lion

    A little more Sean Everitt for you: "We pride ourselves on work rate, we've been talking about intent and the guys certainly showed that.

    "It was pleasing to see a good performance from Lewis Wells on the wing. He'll only build on that. He's a good player with a lot of potential.

    "A guy like Tom Dodd who hasn't had much game time, he did really well with the opp he got. There's a lot of positives we can take out of this game.

    "We want to go deep into the competition. It's a tough competition to win, if you look at the teams that will come down from the Champions Cup - like Bath, top of the Premiership - they'll be tough to knock over.

    "When you go into the last 16 it's knockout rugby and it's about being clinical in everything you do. That's what we need to focus on regardless of who you play."

  3. 'Hats off' to the forwards - Everittpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January

    FT: Edinburgh 36-15 Black Lion

    Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt tells Premier Sports: "It was a good performance. We started off well, the guys stuck to the process and we were good in structure.

    "We scored some great tries from counter-attack, so I'm happy with that and happy with the lead we had going into the second half.

    "It's not easy to play with seven forward but hats off to them for their performance. I'm just pleased we got the five points against a tricky team."

  4. Gloucester ship eight tries in Francepublished at 15:11 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January

    FT: Bayonne 55-17 Gloucester

    It will be Bayonne who go through in second place in Pool 3, having dismantled Gloucester this afternoon.

    The French side held a 12-point lead at half-time, but asserted their dominance further after the break and passed the 50-point mark, scoring eight tries in total.

    Gloucester finish fourth in the pool.

  5. Crosbie on causing nightmarespublished at 15:11 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January

    FT: Edinburgh 36-15 Black Lion

    Player of the Match and Edinburgh flanker Luke Crosbie tells Premier Sports: "The body is all good, we knew they were going to be a physical team - especially first 40 minutes - but we're pleased with the performance.

    "Just building up, defensively just getting involved and stuck in - its what I like doing.

    "My game, both sides of that ball, has that physicality in contact. Defensively I'm trying to slow the ball down, stealing it or getting the numbers in the ruck. Their attack coach, I'm trying to make his day a nightmare, that's how I look at it.

    "We've shown in the last couple of games that we need to stick to our game plan. We have game plan that we can take a breath, take control, and take the ball up the field."

    "For us forwards, we just think about the gain line. We need to earn the right to get the ball out wide to players like Darcy and Duhan."

  6. 'A very good day for Edinburgh'published at 15:04 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January

    FT: Edinburgh 36-15 Black Lion

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on Premier Sports

    Edinburgh started particularly well, scoring within 90 seconds, and followed up with excellent defence.

    Black Lion gave themselves their own troubles with the amount of penalties they conceded in the first half.

    Edinburgh's maul started well and got better and better. A comfortable win with the bonus point wrapped up in the 46th minute.

    All in all, a very good day for Edinburgh and a lot of good individual perofrmances as well.

  7. Full-time Edinburgh 36-15 Black Lionpublished at 15:02 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January

    Job done for Edinburgh in a game peppered with cards and tries aplenty.

    Top spot is confirmed, and Edinburgh succeed in winning a home draw in the round of 16 - and potentially the quarter-final if they get that far.

    Reaction to come.

    Edinburgh 36-15 Black Lion

    Darcy Graham's ribs have just been re-arranged - again. Sandro Mamamtavrishvili is the culprit this time.

    It's all legal and above board, but every time Graham is hit, Scotland fans wince.

    Shalva Aptsiauri

    Edinburgh lose the ball in their own attack and Black Lion turnover, with the wind in their sails.

    It's chipped to the left wing and Aptsiauri catches one-handed to score in the corner!

    That is an incredible finish! Fair play to Davit Khuroshvil for the kick as well, both were brilliant.

    Edinburgh 36-10 Black Lion

    Black Lion are taking advantage of the extra numbers, and Shalva Aptsiauri chips over the top. It's bouncing awkwardly, but Ali Price is able to kick clear.

    Ross Thompson is on, replacing Ben Healy as his sin-bin comes to an end.

    Edinburgh 36-10 Black Lion

    Luca Ivanishvili is going to get a telling off from Jeremy Rozier, and he isn't happy about it. He might even talk his way into the sin bin here...

    In the replay, we can see him remonstrating with the referee at the last breakdown. Maybe he is lucky not to go off.

    Edinburgh 36-10 Black Lion

    The 37-year-old Sandro Todua is on in Black Lion's final change.

    It is now 15 against 13, as the visitors welcome Tornike Kakhoidze back on after his sin binning. Edinburgh need to manage the clock here until Ben Healy can come back on.

    Irakli Kvatadze

    Two consecutive Edinburgh penalties have given Black Lion some decent field position for the first time in the second half.

    The maul is held up well initially, but it splinters and in the second phase, Kvatadze rips the ball from his own teammate to canter over untouched.

    Luka Matkava's kick is good.

    Edinburgh 36-3 Black Lion

    Wes Goosen hared through a gap but tried to pass right instead of left, and it went into the hands of the visitors instead.

    Moments later, Hamish Watson completely empties Black Lion centre Ioane Metreveli.

    Mikheil Babunashvili is coming off for an HIA as well. Plenty of shuffling.

    13 playing 14 as we speak. Plenty of space on this Hive pitch.

  15. Sin-bin Ben Healy (Edinburgh)published at 60 mins

    Edinburgh 36-3 Black Lion

    Well it's just a yellow for Ben Healy, as the referee believes Luca Ivanishvili dipped into the contact.

    The Edinburgh fly-half is perhaps a little lucky there. Edinburgh down to 13 men for the time being.

  16. Postpublished at 60 mins

    Edinburgh 36-3 Black Lion

    Time off as Luca Ivanishvili crashes into Ben Healy, who was quite upright as he made the hit.

    Dear me. The replay doesn't look good and Healy could be off as well, as his shoulder crashes into the chin of the Black Lion number eight.

    Edinburgh 36-3 Black Lion

    Darcy Graham jabs a little kick behind the defence, but it won't sit for him. That would have been incredible had it come off.

    Meanwhile, Charlie Shiel is withdrawn. Ali Price, who missed out on the Six Nations squad earlier this week, is on.

    Big reception for Hamish Watson as he comes off the bench.

    He may have been out of favour with the coaches lately but he remains a big favourite of the Edinburgh fans.

  19. Sin-bin Tornike Kakhoidze (Black Lion)published at 58 mins

    Edinburgh 36-3 Black Lion

    Three penalties all in one phase for Black Lion, and Kakhoidze is binned as a result.

    Edinburgh's phases through the hands have been brutal, although they aren't getting many line breaks from it. That's been a problem for them this season.

    Glen Young is on for Sam Skinner, while Luke Crosbie also leaves the field, flanked by medics. He's moving freely, at least. Hamish Watson is on.

    Edinburgh 36-3 Black Lion

    The seven men of Edinburgh have just pulverised a full-strength Black Lion pack. It's not often that happens, either.

    What an impact from the new front row. It's kicked back into the corner.
