Laidlaw hails ‘immense’ fans for part in Edinburgh’s famous victory

Edinburgh captain Greig Laidlaw hailed the record-breaking Murrayfield crowd for helping them over the line in their “exhausting” Heineken Cup win over four-times champions Toulouse.

Laidlaw struck a last-minute penalty to finally fend off the French team and tie up a victory that sent a Scottish side into the last four for the first time.

But he also credited the 37,881 spectators, a record for a Heineken Cup quarter-final in Britain, for helping them through a thrilling finale.
