]]> Edinburgh Rugby: Philipps Returns for Back-to-Back Thunder Clash

Edinburgh Rugby travel to Parc y Scarlets this Saturday to “right the wrongs” of their narrow 14-7 defeat to Brython Thunder just two weeks ago, as Head Coach, Claire Cruikshank noted. Despite a solid scrum and late try from captain Hannah Walker, Edinburgh fell to a clinical Welsh side at the Hive last time out.

However, Edinburgh have been boosted by the return of Scotland international centre Rachel Philipps, who missed the previous meeting through injury. She joins fellow international Hannah Ramsay in a reinforced midfield, while Emily Love comes in to start at scrum-half. In the pack, Catriona Moody is the sole change, coming in at number eight to join Natasha Logan and Alex Stewart.

Cruikshank has been vocal about the importance of this fixture: “We’re into the business end of the season now, so it’s crucial we start picking up points in the lead-up to the play-offs.”

Glasgow Warriors: Six Changes for Wolfhounds Encounter

On Sunday, the focus shifts to Scotstoun as Glasgow Warriors host the unbeaten Wolfhounds. Head Coach Lindsey Smith has made six changes to a side that has shown grit in recent rounds, notably so in a high-scoring battle against the Clovers where they claimed a vital four-try bonus point despite a 31-38 defeat.

The lineup sees Millie Warren and Briar McNamara continue their promising midfield partnership, while Aicha Sutcliffe moves to loosehead prop in a reshuffled front row that welcomes Megan Hyland at hooker. The back-three features a new look with Scotland U20’s Emily Norval and Claudia McLaren promoted to the wings. Smith is looking for her side to match the clinical edge shown by the Irish leaders: “Wolfhounds have been on an impressive winning streak, but we showed in Cork that we can challenge them. We need to ensure we come out firing in the first half.”

The Play-off Push

This weekend serves as a vital test for both Edinburgh Rugby and Glasgow Warriors as the race for the post-season intensifies. With every point now critical for seeding, these cross-border clashes are important in deciding who earns the right to compete in the final at Hive Stadium this March.

  • Glasgow Warriors Men: 26–21 URC victory away to Zebre Parma — bonus point and top-of-table momentum.

  • Edinburgh Rugby Men: 19–21 URC defeat to Vodacom Bulls — strong first half, lessons to build on.

  • Edinburgh Rugby Women: 7–43 Celtic Challenge defeat — competitive phases and growth to build on.

  • Glasgow Warriors Women: 26–52 Celtic Challenge loss to Wolfhounds — strong second-half fight shows promise.

Edinburgh edged out after Bulls fightback

Edinburgh Rugby suffered a narrow 21–19 defeat to the Vodacom Bulls at Hive Stadium, despite a dominant first-half performance that saw the home side race into a 19–7 lead. The Bulls’ physical response after the break proved decisive, as the South African side edged ahead late on to hand Edinburgh their first home loss of the season. Strong displays across the Edinburgh pack and promising moments from younger players highlighted the team’s potential, offering lessons to build on as the URC season continues.

Glasgow Warriors Men – URC in Parma

Glasgow Warriors maintained strong form in the United Rugby Championship with a 26–21 victory away to Zebre Parma. The Warriors set the tone early with physical forward play and clinical execution, including tries from Gregor Hiddleston and Adam Hastings. Although Zebre fought back late, Glasgow’s defensive resilience secured a bonus-point win and kept them right at the top of the URC standings.

Edinburgh Rugby Women — Celtic Challenge

Edinburgh Rugby Women continued their Celtic Challenge campaign with a competitive showing at the Hive Stadium, ultimately losing 43–7 to Gwalia Lightning. The young and developing Edinburgh side kept the match tight for much of the first half and earned a penalty try, but Gwalia’s experience and finishing ability proved decisive after the break. Edinburgh will look to take the lessons from this one into next week’s fixture.

Glasgow Warriors Women — Celtic Challenge 

Across the Celtic Challenge this weekend, Glasgow Warriors Women suffered a 52–26 defeat to the Wolfhounds in a high-scoring encounter in Cork. The Irish side took control early, running in six first-half tries and holding the Warriors scoreless at the interval, but Glasgow responded with spirit in the second half with four tries of their own. This match highlighted the continued progression of Glasgow Warriors Women within the cross-border competition.

]]> In a massive lift for Sean Everitt’s side, the Scotland international trio of Duhan van der Merwe, Pierre Schoeman and D’arcy Rae have all been passed fit to start after recovering from their respective injuries.

Their return coincides with a huge week for the club’s emerging talent, meaning Friday’s match selection offers a blend of international experience and the next generation of Scottish rugby.

International reinforcements

The inclusion of van der Merwe sees the winger rejoin a back-three that features Scotland’s two leading all-time male try-scorers.

Up front, the pack is significantly bolstered by the return of British & Irish Lion Schoeman and tighthead Rae, both of whom will be vital to matching the physicality of a powerful Bulls side.

Furthermore, club captain Magnus Bradbury returns to the number 8 jersey as Edinburgh aim to protect an unbeaten home record this season.

From Guinness Six Nations call-ups to Hive Stadium

It has been a landmark week for young back-rowers Freddy Douglas and Liam McConnell.

After being named in the Scotland squad for the Guinness Six Nations for the first time earlier this week, the duo have been handed starting berths for Friday’s clash.

Supporters will have the chance to get a look at Scotland’s young international call-ups in action before they head into the national camp, spearheading an Edinburgh back-row that combines youthfulness with the experience of Bradbury.

“A massive lift.”

Edinburgh Rugby Head Coach Sean Everitt commented on the selections:

“It’s fantastic to welcome back such an experienced cohort of players. Having the likes of Duhan, Pierre and D’arcy back from injury gives the squad a massive lift.

“We are proud of our unbeaten run at Hive Stadium. Our fans have been incredible all year, and it’s vital they get behind us from the first whistle this Friday night to help us get the result this team is working so hard for.”

Get behind Edinburgh Rugby!

With a perfect home record on the line and a squad packed with international talent, your support is more important than ever.

Be there to roar on the returning Scotland stars and celebrate our newest Six Nations call-ups as they take on one of the toughest tests in the URC.

]]> Despite a challenging Friday night at The Rec where Bath Rugby claimed the pool’s top spot with a 63-10 victory, the capital side’s earlier performances at Hive Stadium proved enough to see them through, qualifying for the knockouts for only the sixth time in club history.

Although bonus-point wins for Castres Olympique and RC Toulon on the final matchday saw Edinburgh slide down the rankings, the club officially secures its place in the post-season as the 14th seed.

It was those gritty, maximum-point displays against RC Toulon and Gloucester in front of the home faithful that ultimately did the damage, providing the 10-point foundation required to progress as a best-placed fourth-placed team.

A massive test now awaits in Ireland, but the capital side knows that a win would see them face either Harlequins or Sale Sharks in the Quarter-Finals.

]]> Freddy Douglas – once again starting at openside – picked up his second consecutive Player of the Match award, with a stellar performance that saw the back-row win five turnovers.

The visitors wasted no time asserting dominance. Just sixty seconds into the match, Gloucester pounced on a turnover at the halfway line, spreading the ball wide to exploit their pace on the flanks for an early opening score.

While Edinburgh showed plenty of attacking intent, they were frequently let down by unforced errors. A promising ten-minute period of pressure was snuffed out by a clinical forward pass, and Gloucester soon extended their lead to 10-0 with a straightforward penalty from directly in front of the posts.

Edinburgh finally found their rhythm through the sheer tenacity of Ben Vellacott. The livewire scrum-half ignited the home crowd, bouncing off initial tacklers before staying alert to shadow the subsequent phase.

He was rewarded for his support line, receiving the offload to dart over the whitewash. Though Ross Thompson’s conversion drifted wide, the momentum seemed to be shifting.

However, discipline issues briefly haunted the hosts. An offside call allowed Gloucester to slot another three points, and despite the defensive heroics of Player of the Match Freddy Douglas, Edinburgh couldn’t capitalise on their territory.

A lineout maul in the Gloucester 22 ended in a frustrated knock-on, allowing the “Cherry and Whites” to exit and strike back with a second try on the stroke of halftime, leaving Edinburgh with a mountain to climb.

The second half saw a complete tactical shift as Edinburgh’s forwards began to dictate terms. Following a relentless series of phases five metres out, the pack’s power proved too much for the Gloucester defence.

Replacement hooker Ewan Ashman burrowed over from close range to signal the comeback, with Thompson adding the extras to narrow the gap.

Fuelled by a vocal, near-capacity Hive Stadium crowd, Edinburgh’s pressure became relentless. After Gloucester failed to clear their 22, the hosts pounced. December’s Scottish Building Society Player of the Month Liam McConnell was the man to dot down following another attritional effort from the tight five. Thompson’s successful conversion put Edinburgh within touching distance.

The match reached its crescendo when Ben Muncaster, returning from injury, looked certain to score after a clever tactical kick from Thompson forced a Gloucester error.

Muncaster was illegally hauled down by Charlie Atkinson just short of the line; following a TMO review, the referee awarded a penalty try, handing Edinburgh the lead for the first time.

Gloucester refused to go quietly, clawing back a penalty to make it a two-point game with only five minutes remaining.

The tension was palpable as both sides traded possession in a frantic closing sequence. However, Edinburgh’s defence held firm, winning a crucial turnover penalty at the death. The ball was hammered into the stands, confirming a remarkable 26-24 comeback victory.

]]> The result marks the capital side’s first away win of the season and their first triumph in Treviso since 2017, ending a long-standing hoodoo in one of the BKT United Rugby Championship’s toughest environments.

The visitors started with intent, asserting their dominance from the opening whistle. For much of the first half, Edinburgh were the superior side, moving the ball with a slickness that frequently pierced the Benetton line.

The pressure eventually told when scrum-half Ben Vellacott sniped over from close range for the opening try. Ross Thompson added the extras and later slotted a penalty to stretch the lead to 10-0.

While the halftime scoreline favoured Edinburgh, it arguably did not reflect the extent of their control. Several promising incursions into the Benetton 22 went unrewarded due to minor inaccuracies at the clinical moment, leaving the door ajar for the hosts.

The second half began with a moment of pure individual brilliance from Darcy Graham. Deep inside his own 22, the winger reacted quickest to a loose ball. Sensing an opportunity, he launched a speculative kick downfield, outpaced the covering defence, and dived on the ball once more to score a sensational solo effort.

The score moved Edinburgh into a 0-15 lead and seemingly put them in the driver’s seat. However, the Italian outfit refused to crumble. Spurred on by a vocal home crowd, Benetton ignited. In a frantic ten-minute window, the hosts crossed the whitewash twice, converting both to bring the score to 14-15.

With the momentum firmly behind the Italians, Stadio Monigo was on its feet, and Edinburgh found themselves in a defensive dogfight. The shift in the trenches was led by Freddy Douglas, who produced a masterclass at the breakdown to earn the BKT Player of the Match award. Alongside him, the defensive shift was relentless; Glen Young, Harri Morris, Tom Dodd, James Lang, and Matt Currie put in a massive shift to halt the green-and-white waves of attack.

The final ten minutes were a test of pure resolve. Harri Morris came up with a vital turnover penalty to relieve pressure, a feat mirrored moments later by Darcy Graham, who proved as effective in defence as he was in attack. Drama peaked in the 80th minute when Edinburgh had the chance to seal the game with a penalty. In a heart-stopping moment, the strike hit the upright and bounced back into play.

Benetton gathered and launched one final, desperate assault down the short side. However, the Edinburgh line held firm, and a spilled Italian pass finally brought the gruelling contest to an end.

]]> Glasgow Warriors claimed the 1872 Cup for the fourth straight year with a 21–3 victory over Edinburgh Rugby at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, sealing the series with two late tries and extending their unbeaten run through December. A brace from BKT Player of the Match Jamie Dobie and a close-range effort from George Horne ensured the trophy returns west along the M8 once again.

Chasing a 12–point deficit from the first leg at Hampden Park, Edinburgh started brightly under grey skies in the capital. Pierre Schoeman’s work at the breakdown earned an early penalty, and fly-half Cammy Scott showed composure from 35 metres to give the hosts a 3–0 lead after five minutes. His tactical kicking kept Glasgow pinned back in the early exchanges, while a key turnover from Liam McConnell on his own line preserved the advantage.

Glasgow, however, steadily grew into the game. Stafford McDowall’s running lines and Matt Fagerson’s direct carrying began to stretch Edinburgh’s shape, forcing the home defence to scramble. A turnover from Fagerson in his own 22 and sharp interventions from Kyle Steyn and Ollie Smith kept the contest tight as both teams tested the fringes without reward.

The breakthrough came just past the half-hour mark. With Edinburgh blitzing hard, Adam Hastings stepped back inside before hanging a cross-field kick into space for Dobie to collect and finish in the corner. Hastings added the extras for a 7–3 lead. Dobie then produced a crucial defensive moment before the interval, tracking back to gather a Ben Vellacott grubber and beating multiple defenders to clear under pressure, helping Glasgow retain their four-point advantage at the break.

The second half opened as an arm-wrestle, defences refusing to buckle under the floodlights. Edinburgh were handed a lifeline when Angus Fraser was yellow-carded following an off-field review for a dangerous tackle, but a malfunctioning set-piece undermined their momentum. A close-range maul was repelled by the 14-man Warriors, and repeated scrum and lineout errors halted promising platforms.

As the sin-bin expired, the Glasgow bench injected control and tempo. With 10 minutes remaining, sustained pressure inside the Edinburgh 22 saw Horne spot the smallest of gaps, diving under bodies to score before converting his own try for a 14–3 lead. Edinburgh’s late push evaporated moments later when turnover ball allowed Glasgow to chip behind the defence; Dobie accelerated through to claim his second of the match, with Dan Lancaster landing a touchline conversion to complete the scoring.

The final whistle confirmed a first Glasgow win at Murrayfield since 2022 and a perfect end to their 2025 calendar year. Edinburgh, by contrast, will reflect on a performance of early promise undone by a lack of precision in key moments.

Glasgow now look ahead to 2026 and their New Year’s opener against Zebre Parma, while Edinburgh will regroup as they aim to turn competitive spells into tangible results.
