It wasn’t the try scoring fest of last week, but it was a statement from Richard Cockerill’s Edinburgh side all the same as they managed to painstakingly grind out a win against Cardiff Blues at BT Murrayfield on Friday evening.

Edinburgh Rugby head coach Richard Cockerill has stated he will not be preoccupied with the style of his side’s performance this Friday, but rather, will be looking for a dominant performance to secure maximum points.

A win is always a win, especially when you’re fighting to remain at the top end of the Pro14 Conference B table, but it was a rather chaotic end to Edinburgh’s 41-14 win over Connacht at BT Murrayfield on Friday night.
