Edinburgh edge Glasgow but Warriors have last laugh

By PA
Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh clash - PA

Edinburgh defeated Glasgow 10-7 in a Murrayfield dogfight but were unable to stop Franco Smith’s side claiming the 1872 Cup for a third year running.

Protecting a 19-point first-leg lead after blitzing their inter-city rivals 33-14 at Hampden last Sunday, the United Rugby Championship champions were knocked out of their stride by Sean Everitt’s side in a stuffy second leg in front of 40,063 people, a record crowd for a Scottish club rugby match.

With Edinburgh leading 3-0 at the interval, a 69th minute penalty try turned the game in Glasgow’s favour before Pierre Schoeman hit back instantly to ensure Edinburgh won the day and claimed four points.

    Warriors took the 1872 Cup by an aggregate score of 40-24, although the fact they lost the second leg for the second year running, picking up just one point in the process, meant there were no celebrations when they were presented with the silverware afterwards.

    A cagey first quarter was notable only for the sight of Edinburgh back-rower Hamish Watson coming off the bench to make his first appearance in two months in place of Jamie Ritchie, who went off for a head injury assessment which he failed.

    The hosts got the scoreboard ticking over in the 23rd minute when Ross Thompson sent a penalty between the posts.

    The former Glasgow stand-off had a chance to add another three points to his tally 10 minutes later but his kick from 45 metres out drifted well wide.

    Edinburgh head coach Everitt had joked that his side only needed to win both halves 10-0 to claim the 1872 Cup, and it looked for a moment like they might be about get the first part of that right as they exerted pressure in front of the line in the lead-up to half-time.

    However, just as they seemed set to score in the 38th minute following a quick tap penalty, Luke Crosbie dropped the ball as he reached out over the line, meaning they had to settle for a modest 3-0 interval advantage.

    Glasgow cranked up the pressure as the match moved into the final quarter and they thought they had scored in the 67th minute but Rory Darge was held up on the line.

    However, the Warriors got themselves ahead two minutes later when they were awarded a penalty try after the hosts collapsed the maul, with replacement hooker Paddy Harrison sent to the sin bin.

    Despite this setback, Edinburgh restored their lead just a minute later when Scotland prop Schoeman, who signed a new long-term deal this week, bulldozed his way over, with Ben Healy adding the extras.

    Great win by Edinburgh who ran Leinster close first match.

    Glasgow's problem now is almost certainly they will have to defeat Leinster in Dublin in the knock outs to retain the urc title. They are too far behind. That encounter might prove useful for scouting, but nothing else. They have to face Leinster in Dublin last match of the league also probably needing to win to hold position. Leinster will hurt them.

    This Leinster defense is starting to look outstanding.

    The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech


    As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality. Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience.
