Gloucester Tops Edinburgh 15-10 in Challenge Cup

Edinburgh Rugby faced Gloucester in challenging weather conditions at Kingsholm, ultimately losing 15-10 but securing a crucial losing bonus point thanks to a late penalty from Ben Healy. The match saw Edinburgh's co-captain Ben Vellacott injured just before kick-off, leading to significant changes in their lineup, including Magnus Bradbury stepping in as captain. Gloucester scored first through Seb Blake and later added a second try from Albert Tuisue, while Wes Goosen managed to equalize briefly for Edinburgh. Despite their lack of possession and territory, Edinburgh's young players, including Liam McConnell and Conor McAlpine, gained valuable experience. Coach Sean Everitt expressed disappointment in the second half but praised the team's effort and resilience. Edinburgh now looks forward to their next match against Bayonne, hoping to field a stronger squad as key players return from rest.
