FT: Edinburgh 33-20 Toulon
Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt tells Premier Sports: "It is pleasing when you work on something all week. We knew it was going to rain, it was predicted.
"Happy for Cammy Scott and the way he managed game. I thought he was brilliant tonight, you would never be able to tell it was only his third start.
"The pack did their job against a massive team from France so I'm really proud of the boys.
"You get worried at six minutes when you're 10-0 down on the scoreboard but the guys fought back and showed composure. The message behind the poles immediately was defensively, we have to stop the momentum off nine, and the guys got back to task."

Player of the match Liam McConnell tells Premier Sports: "It was awesome. We've looked forward to it since the start of the season, one of the top teams in the best team in the world, and they were coming to our home. We were buzzing.
"We thought that was an area [the scrum] where we could get at them. It was scrappy at times but when we got our chances, we took them.
"We just kicked a little more than we would, and the kicks were on the money every time. We tightened things up, didn't throw around, and pounced on their mistakes."
'A comprehensive victory against a top side'published at 19:27 GMT 7 December 2025

There was so many good performances and good decisions made from the key decision-makers.
McConnell had a big autumn and he's continued that form into the Champions Cup.
There was a calmness underneath the chaos, when the hits were flying in, in the way Edinburgh approached that - especially after going behind early on.
The performance last week was poor and they didn't get their attack functioning. There was a lot of pressure on Sean Everett, and that was a comprehensive victory against a top side in European rugby.

Edinburgh 33-20 Toulon
Ian Madigan Former Ireland fly-half on Premier Sports
It was a really smart performance from Edinburgh. They played the conditions, won the kicking battle.
It was always going to be won up front, there were a lot of really big performances in the pack. Ewan Ashman was really impressive, as was Magnus Bradbury.
But Liam McConnell really stood up both sides of the ball, he was an absolute nuisance when Toulon were in possession.
Dominant tackles, covered the backfield well, excellent on restarts received.
Edinburgh have a scrum, and they go blind down the left. Cammy Scott keeps it instead of trying to find Duhan van der Merwe, and from the next phase, Ben Vellacott's switch pass goes to deck.
But Edinburgh's kick recovery is good and Toulon have to run the ball into touch in their own 22m.
With the ball on Toulon's line, albeit in their possession, has Liam McConnell dotted it down?
Baptiste Serin has rolled the ball back onto the white line, and McConnell has tried to ground it - but Serin has already done so, with both hands on the ball.
