Abbie Ward on beating New Zealand, moving to Bristol and quick-fire questions | Tunnel Talk | Episode 1

Former Leicester and Cheetahs forward De Bruin suffered a hamstring injury on his eighth appearance for Edinburgh.

Over the weekend Edinburgh were pushed all the way by basement club Zebre Parma in a 29-26 victory that strengthens their grasp on a United Rugby Championship play-off place.

Their unbeaten record at home this season remains intact, and the bonus point keeps them in the hunt for a top-four finish, but the hosts made heavy weather of the fixture.
