Scotland flyers guide Edinburgh to sensational second-half win over Cardiff

Edinburgh scrum-half Ali Price box kicking.
Edinburgh mounted a sensational second-half performance to down Cardiff 27-8, securing their second win of the new campaign in the process.
The Scottish outfit found themselves 8-3 down at the break, but a run of 24 unanswered points in the second-half steered them to victory.
Edinburgh’s Scottish contingent were especially prominent in the win, with Duhan van der Merwe, Pierre Schoeman and Darcy Graham crossing the whitewash.

Edinburgh opened their account through Ross Thompson, who made no mistake with the penalty they were awarded.
Midway through the first half, the home team were awarded another penalty in front of the posts and this time opted for a scrum, but a knock-on let Cardiff off the hook.
Cardiff were off the mark after half an hour when Thomas Young finished off in the left corner from a Rory Jennings pass after a penalty had been sent to touch. Callum Sheedy failed with his conversion attempt.
With Grant Gilchrist then sent off the field and Edinburgh down to 14 men, Cardiff thought they had made their pressure tell when Young grounded.
However, the score was disallowed for offside against the forward, who was himself yellow-carded just as Gilchrist returned.
Edinburgh ran the penalty and thought they had regained the lead when Van der Merwe touched down in the left corner, but that score was also chalked off, for a forward pass, and the half came to an end with Cardiff still 5-3 up.
Edinburgh dominated the early part of the second half and went back in front when Van der Merwe dived acrobatically to score in the corner despite the attentions of Cardiff full-back Cam Winnett.
Thompson converted to make it 10-5, but a penalty by Sheedy soon narrowed the gap back to two points.
As the game entered its final quarter, Edinburgh stretched their lead when substitute Schoeman finished off with a powerful run off the back of a lineout maul. The conversion attempt missed.
Then Edinburgh added another try when Graham dotted down from a Price pass after a break by Hamish Watson. Thompson again failed to add the extras.
Josh McNally was yellow-carded as Cardiff’s defence was stretched and, after Ben Muncaster had put a foot into touch just before grounding, an overthrow at the lineout was seized on by Ewan Ashman through for the bonus-point score. Thompson’s conversion completed the scoring.
