Edinburgh coach Mike Blair praised his team for an “outstanding” performance in their 30-14 victory away to Dragons and admits it has left him with a selection headache.

Damien Hoyland scored a last-minute try at Rodney Parade to ensure all five points on offer as the Scots made it three successive wins in the United Rugby Championship.

Blair said: “We’re absolutely delighted with the win in really difficult conditions. I’m really pleased with the effort the boys put in.

    “The intent we went out with in that first half playing into the wind, holding on to the ball, playing really good quick rugby was excellent to see.

    “The second half was a little bit stodgy. I thought Dragons played really well in the second half, they really stretched our defence but we showed some good resilience at the end there.”

    Blair, who gave debuts to Argentina international Emiliano Boffelli and former Ulster player Adam McBurney, admits he is now facing a difficult task to choose a team for Friday’s clash with Benetton at DAM Health Stadium.

    He said: “I said to the players that this was their opportunity – a lot of these guys haven’t had much rugby over the last eight weeks or so, whether that be sitting on the bench in the 23 for Scotland, or not being involved in our squad.

    “I said to them to go out there and make it a difficult selection decision next week for our game against Benetton and they’ve certainly done that. They were outstanding.

    “It’ll be really difficult for us to select a team but at the same time you’d rather it was this case where the guys are playing well and you’ve got options rather than only having one guy putting their hand up.”

    Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

    My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
