Benetton Rugby v Edinburgh
Saturday 2nd November
Stadio Monigo

KO 17.15 (UK time)
Live on Premier Sport

Benetton - Not had the best of starts to the season, but got a narrow win last time out against the kings. Expected to have most, if not all, their internationals back for this game, which should see them improve significantly.

Edinburgh - Decent start to the season (excluding the Leinster game), some more of Edinburgh's internationals may be back, but expectation is the team that played against Scarlets may be the same team out this weekend.

FFS our lineout is going to lose this

That was a really soft penalty

Ref's been a joke

Irish co commentator is loving it

This one could push it out to 5 points

Edinburgh giving away to many penalties

Cockers will have plenty to say about the ref I'm sure! Classic pro 14 reffing display

That was a gift to Edinburgh, Allen does have a habit of chocking on important kicks

Three soft pens to Edinburgh now gets them right up and a shot at goal

Gaaah we needed that

Another stupid penalty from Kinghorn

Treviso players acting like Italian footballers this game

I've never heard such angry commentary in my life. They sound like someone's forced them to as a joke. You'd never think they're being paid for it.

Well finally groom is on. Should have been on 40 minutes ago.

Lineouts!!!!!!

Cockers will be going apoplectic

Kick and hope seems all Edinburgh have

Take the kick?

Come on!!!

He misses it, Edinburgh have left their chances out there tonight. Can't say they deserve to win it

Two kickable pens missed!

painful

That was never forward

This ref has been abysmal

Whitehouse has not had a good game, he has been played by Benetton in those last two scrums

Agree. He looks like he's just got there after reffing the minis. Next nigel Owens, he is not.

Well Edinburgh have to be happy with a point. They had their chances but did not take them.

A bit of a regression really after last weekend

He has been poor, but not the reason Edinburgh lost. To many mistakes, lineouts in particular and missed penalties. I wonder why Hickey did not get on, maybe he sees him as only being good on a dry track

Got a great game but Edinburgh should have won it - missing one match winning kick is bad, missing two is unforgivable!

Lineout was shocking though and really cost us

That was was truly awful though - I'd be amazed if Cockers doesn't mention it post game.

Oh no i agree biggee but the team and ref performances can both be poor!

Cockers was far too reluctant to use the bench. The difference groom made alone was palpable.

Old habits die hard with Cockers

How the feck didn’t we win that match?!

Lots of errors is the answer

Edinburgh, the ref, the weather and the Prem sports commentary team were Poopie
Benetton were ok, but hardly great

Poor game all round, but well done to Benetton, they got the win and that's really all that matters.

Can we all take it for granted I didn't say poopie in my post above
