  3. 'Nowhere near perfect'

    FT: Edinburgh 17-16 Lions

    Edinburgh's Hamish Watson tells Viaplay: "It was nowhere near perfect, there's a lot to work on. Our conversion rate in the 22 wasn't good enough.

    "They stayed in the game and made it really hard for us.

    "It's great to be back. It's good to come back into a winning team. It's hopefully going to be an exciting year for us."

  4. Two wins out of two for Edinburgh

  5. Full-time Edinburgh 17-16 Lions

    Wes Goosen has the ball for Edinburgh but is closed down. Blair Kinghorn comes in from the side and Lions will have one last chance to progress.
