The new weekly round up for all things London Scottish gets off to an exciting start, jam-packed with additions to the Exiles squad ahead of the upcoming Championship campaign. James Rhys Baylis reports.
Ruairidh Campbell watches Edinburgh’s first taste of knockout rugby since 2012 as they travel down to Reading to take on the struggling Irish Exiles.
Oh, what might have been.
It’s not unusual to start an Edinburgh match report with such a sentiment, but in this case the one that got away was the 4 try bonus point. Referee Roman Poite twice went upstairs to the TMO for tries that on other days we’ve all seen given (usually against Scottish teams) and came back with a no try ruling, thus making this game a lot closer than it really had any right to be.
