Proud Robinson pays tribute to Edinburgh’s ‘fantastic courage’

PROUD Edinburgh coach Andy Robinson said yesterday: “We’re still in it,” after his side’s 13-6 win over Castres in France in the Heineken Cup. The former England coach looked back on his side’s historic first cross-channel Heineken Cup success, and declared: “Courage was the key.”

In the wake of a shaky start to the season, both in Europe and in the Magners League, Robinson was understandably overjoyed with the victory.

“There were two main aspects to this performance. Firstly, to come to France and play in such an exciting manner in the first half was tremendous,” he said.
