That's a game we'd have blown 12 months ago - steely to pull back a sloppy half hour in second half. I do think AJs form has been key in our run....we need to keep him fit & well. Hopefully Ronaldson knock ain't too serious. Rodney gone back to Rodney of 2/3 years ago - if I were Les Kiss I'd be questioning my purchase. Attitude is everything.....this team is living breathing evidence of that. Bring on the inter-pros.....no fear

6 wins on the trot, 29 points, 29 tries, and still we (supporters and players) are not satisfied. The games are a bit too Princess Bride when we want them to be more Leon, but dear God what a ride.

Completely agree. No one will fancy coming to the Sportsground for our remaining games. I'd love to see us turn Munster over again. One not to miss for sure. The way Ulster are playing we might have a chance up there too.

You know it bodes well for us when you read twits like that : I'm proud of @EdinburghRugby - 5 point loss to table leader is job well done

And three-week rest now!!! so deserved for Muldowney and Bundee Aki!

Sloppy in the 2nd half and looked dodgy for a few minutes. We've lost so many of those type of games over the years, delighted we re-gathered ourselves and saw it out. Nobody wins easy in Edinburgh.

Very true but what was great to see was when we were under the cosh and under pressure, we came back up the field, took our chance and took a try and bonus point - that didn't happen a few years ago we would batter away but not get over the line.
On top of the league Great times!
Tough games ahead but Leinster, Ulster and Munster won't relish meeting us either.

I've run out of superlatives for this team. However the season pans out they have been a joy to watch. Unbelievably proud tonight.

I think Rodney has already moved to Ulster in his head. No nonsense decision by Pat which was needed to get the win. We need to be ruthless in every decision from now on from the bench players right through the starting 15. Dare to dream of the double

About 20 minutes too late. To think Loughs was sat on his hoop watching that. Rodney should be sixth choice prop after that.

Delighted with that win and especially the 5 points. To be honest though, we were at times excellent and at times super sloppy and very error ridden. Shows you what we can/could do if we finally get it all together.

I'm not sure their try in the corner was actually grounded, looked like Marmion had an arm under the ball. Overall though, we can't complain or be disappointed as that puts us on 59 points and Munster now look a loooonngggg way back.

Well done CONNACHT !

PS - Hope Craig is on the ice packs already !

Champions Cup here we come :cheer: . Sloppy in the 2nd half and looked dodgy for a few minutes. We've lost so many of those type of games over the years, delighted we re-gathered ourselves and saw it out. Nobody wins easy in Edinburgh. Bonus point as well is a boost with Scarlets getting just 4.

23-28, gave them a bonus point with the last kick of the game. Delighted with 5 points but way too many mistakes and sloppy defending. That should keep their minds focused over the break.

That's game- bonus point win, though the Gunners get one for being within 7.

Some great points but bits to work on still.

Rodney will be dreading Monday's video session......not sure he did anything right in his 27 mins on the pitch :(

As good as McKeons run was the Edinburgh backrow need to do better than that.....don't care though, 5 points :woohoo:

McKeon's try, the fundamental difference between a Number Eight, and a Blindside trying to fill in...

Bonus point try, but this game ain't over no way.

Hopefully Ronaldson not to badly hurt but face as he was being tackled wasn't good.....

A great carry by McKeon gets us the bonus point, 8 points up, 6 mins left

We've gone from a dominant scrum in their half to under our posts in 30 seconds :S


Have we just seen Rodney's last game.? Hauled off after twenty minutes....
