Cardiff come away with the points at Edinburgh in barely-deserved win

Cardiff boosted their chances of a top-six finish in the Guinness PRO12 with a barely-deserved 18-17 win over Edinburgh in an error-strewn game.

Flowing rugby was at a premium in testing conditions in the Scottish capital and the home side played most of what was on show. They scored a first-half try through captain Neil Cochrane, converted by Sam Hidalgo-Clyne, before Rory Scholes bagged a double in the second period.
