Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt tells BBC Scotland: “A tough talk at half-time. It wasn’t a lack of effort, but a lack of accuracy. There were a lot of errors, but we tightened it up.

“Proud of how the boys put it together in the second half. It would have just given me less grey hairs if they had done it in the first 40.

“It’s difficult going in at 18-5 down if you haven’t fired a shot, but we fired several of them. We played some good rugby, just didn’t finish.

“Credit to Gloucester, they defended extremely well. Magnus [Bradbury] showed good leadership and we were much improved.

“Ewan Ashman is a great carrier for us and brings a lot of energy. A great guy to have in our group.

“It’s a massive win for us. We did target 10 points in our home fixtures. The competition is tight this year, so we’ll be looking at the other results this weekend and then go to the Rec next weekend.”
