Edinburgh A 27
Glasgow Warriors A 10
Stuart McInally, Simon Berghan and Damien Hoyland were particularly impressive as Edinburgh proved too strong for their Glasgow Warriors counterparts in last night's warm-up for the forthcoming 1872 Cup meetings, writes Gary Heatly.
Mike Cusack, returning after long-term injury and illness, played 40 minutes and Al Kellock 30 minutes for Warriors.
Edinburgh's tries were scored by Scotland Sevens man Hoyland (2), Tom Brown and Jason Hill while the New Zealander Jade Te Rure, who is on trial with the club, kicked seven points. Rory Hughes and James Eddie scored Glasgow's tries on a night when not much went right for them as Edinburgh's forwards dominated.
Steve Scott, Edinburgh's assistant coach, said: "I thought the boys did well and really took the match to Glasgow. Matches like this are all about putting your hand up for selection and certainly a few of the guys have done well with Alan [Solomons] watching on.
"We also managed to get to see our two new Kiwis, Jade Te Rure and Hugh Blake, in action and they are on trial with us for a spell. Sadly Hugh got injured in the first half, but Jade looked a tidy player and in general I was pleased with the way things went."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
