Edinburgh beat Connacht

Connacht’s Sportsground fortress was breached for the first time this season by Scottish visitors Edinburgh who succeeded in avenging their earlier defeat in the Guinness Pro12.

Edinburgh were deserving winners on another tough night of driving wind and rain at the Sportsground, but Connacht can take some consolation that they kept within pace of the visitors against the wind in the second half to come away with a losing bonus point.
