Racing Metro 24 – 27 Edinburgh: Rory takes a look at Edinburgh’s thrilling Heineken Cup win in Paris last weekend.
Greig Laidlaw, Paris Bound
You’re at home. You’re packing. You’ve got a big game on Friday. You’re thinking about your team going into the game against Racing, but you’re trying not to think about the game. The TV’s on in the background but you’re not sure what rubbish is on. Did you put in enough socks? You’re always looking for something and forget what it is halfway between rooms. Don’t stuff it all in. The phone’s going.
Racing to the Finish
Our resident Racing Metro expert Fraser Gillies takes a look at this weekend’s crucial Heineken Cup tie with Edinburgh.
Hatching Heineken Plans
As Edinburgh and Glasgow go searching for success in the Heineken Cup this weekend it is important to understand that both teams must go to the extremes of their outlay if they are to keep their European fate in their own hands. They have pulled off some fantastic results, but as the old adage goes “one swallow does not make a summer”.
Montpellier 13-13 Glasgow
Glasgow travelled to the south of France to face Montpellier, eager to grab some points from a fixture that saw an understrength team defend their impressive stadium. And in the end that is pretty much what happened, though maybe not as either team would desire.
Edinburgh 19-12 Cardiff
It was another home win for Edinburgh tonight, but a late lapse in discipline may yet cost Edinburgh as it allowed Cardiff a losing bonus point, despite this being a game Edinburgh controlled for great periods.
Edinburgh Squad to Face Cardiff
The most tann-ed one Gavin Henson could be in with a shout to line up against Edinburgh at Murrayfield on Friday, despite persistent injury niggles that have kept him out of the Blues line-up since signing for the region earlier in the year. His main problem has been his hand but that has apparently healed, leaving him with only a heal to recover. No bother, it’s only Edinburgh eh?
Glasgow Win Takes Them 2nd In Pool 3
Glasgow Warriors 20 – 15 Montpellier Herault
In this country we like to cling onto good feelings. That’s why we have a whole month of Christmas. Unfortunately for visitors Montpellier they did not find hosts Glasgow in a festive mood as they went down in their third round Heineken Cup match at Firhill despite outscoring the Warriors by two tries to one. Duncan Weir and Ruaridh Jackson kicked a couple of long-range crackers to edge the contest and put them into second in the group.
