Edinburgh Rally Past Scarlets 24-19 to Bolster URC Playoff Chase
The win lifts Edinburgh to 11th with a game in hand to sustain a realistic push for the top eight.
Overview
- Edinburgh overturned a 14-0 deficit after a turnover-heavy start on their return from the international break.
- Harry Paterson was yellow-carded for a deliberate knock-on, then returned to charge down a clearance and score the decisive fourth try.
- Ben Vellacott scored twice with Magnus Bradbury also crossing, and Ross Thompson landed two conversions.
- The result delivered a bonus point and improved Edinburgh’s position in the URC playoff race.
- Head coach Sean Everitt praised the response but highlighted handling and discipline issues, and he noted Mosese Tuipulotu’s return from a nine-month knee layoff ahead of hosting Ulster.
