Thankfully it’s April 1st because that would be a disaster. His team (Edinburgh) are playing at home against Zebre and need as many log points as they can get to try get into a position on the log where they can qualify for Champions Cup next year and they haven’t scored a single try in the whole 1st half! The only good thing is that I was only able to follow some of it on the radio and not watch any of it
Finally got chance to watch the rugby now and would you believe Edinburgh have scored 2 tries in the meantime, now in the 66th min Edinburgh 17/0 Zebre
Allan Dell on now replaces Dickenson for Edinburgh
Zebre brought a prop on to play lock!
Try Hildago Clyne
Edinburgh 24/0 Zebre. 10 minutes left to try get bonus point try
Zebre in possession not looking good for the bonus point only 7 min left
Nel being replaced by Andress. Nel walking off with a bleeding nose
Edinburgh lineout 5m out 2 min left
Arghhh lineout mess but some how ruled Zebre knock on so Edinburgh scrum 5m out 1 min left
Scrum collapses
Tap penalty and another coming up
Zebre defending well
TRY by substitute lock Alex Toolis in left hand corner bonus point
