Edinburgh maintain perfect record

Edinburgh made it four wins from four as they battled to a 24-6 win over London Welsh thanks to tries from Dougie Fife and Roddy Grant.

It was tight for much of the game, with Edinburgh leading 9-3 at half-time thanks to three penalties from Sam Hidalgo-Clyne.

Chris Elder slotted one penalty for Welsh, but they lost Lachlan McCaffrey to a sin-bin on the stroke of half-time, having failed to take advantage of a yellow card for Andries Strauss earlier in the half.

Hidalgo-Clyne and Elder exchanged penalties early in the second half, but it was still very tight with half an hour to go.

Eventually Edinburgh did find a way through, with Jack Cuthbert feeding Fife for the game's first try.

That gave Edinburgh a 17-6 lead, and after Dean Schofield's sin-binning with three minutes remaining, Grant sealed the win in the dying seconds.
