Edinburgh Secure URC Play-Off Spot With Win Over Ulster, Clinch Champions Cup Place

News summary

Edinburgh secured their return to the United Rugby Championship play-offs for the first time in three seasons with a commanding 47-17 home victory over Ulster, who were already out of contention for the post-season. The win, combined with Cardiff's defeat, ensured Edinburgh's qualification for the top eight and next season's Champions Cup, with standout performances including Darcy Graham's hat-trick. Ulster, enduring a disappointing campaign with only eight wins from 22 games and failing to make the top eight for the first time in years, aimed to end their season positively but were outmatched. Edinburgh's head coach Sean Everitt emphasized the importance of composure and sticking to their game model under pressure, while making strategic team selections to bring experience to this crucial game. Despite missing key players due to injury, Edinburgh fielded a squad with significant professional and international experience, reflecting their determination to secure a play-off spot. This match marked a turning point for both teams—Edinburgh advancing confidently, while Ulster looked to regroup after a forgettable season.
