ROBBO HAS BATH
Bath: 8 (8) Edinburgh: 19 (9)
Edinburgh completed their pre-season unbeaten with this useful win over a strong Bath side at The Rec last night. Three penalties from Chris Paterson and a brace of tries from wingers Webster and Turnbull saw off the home side in this friendly.
An early try from winger Maddock and a penalty by Australian playmaker Berne gave the West Country side an early lead. Although Edinburgh had started well, Bath were on top for much of the first half. The Embra set piece continues to struggle somewhat. Indeed, it was off a lost visiting throw-in that Maddock's try was created.
But the visitors grabbed the lead at the break with Mossy notching three penalties in ten minutes.
They extended their lead shortly aftert the restart. Craig Hamilton's aggressive tackle forced a turnover near halfway, hacked upfield by Dave "DC" Callam. Webster hared after it, gathered and cantered over from distance for a fine try. Edinburgh always look more dangerous when "Webbo" is on the park and it was encouraging to see him back in decent form.
As against Wasps last week, it was now Embra who looked the more creative side. As importantly, the visiting defence was solid and coped with everything that Bath could throw at them in the second period.
