Hive Stadium

Edinburgh Rugby delivered a commanding performance against Black Lion, winning 36-15 at Hive Stadium. Sam Skinner opened the scoring with an early try, converted by Ben Healy, who continued to excel throughout the match. Despite a yellow card for Pierre Schoeman, Edinburgh maintained their momentum, with further tries from Wes Goosen and Luke Crosbie. A red card for Magnus Bradbury raised concerns, but Edinburgh responded with a strong second half, adding tries from Matt Currie and Patrick Harrison. Black Lion managed to score through Irakli Kvatadze and Shalva Aptsiauri, but their efforts were insufficient. Healy's contributions with the boot were crucial, as he converted all but one try. Overall, Edinburgh's disciplined play and strong attacking strategy secured a well-deserved victory.
