EDINBURGH EDGE THRILLER

Edinburgh edged Harlequins 36-35 in a Challenge Cup 11-try thriller at Murrayfield on Saturday. The hosts led 31-14 by the break after running in five tries through Allan Dell, Blair Kinghorn, Nasi Manu, Hamish Watson and Damien Hoyland. Quins responded with a Charlie Walker score and penalty try. Kyle Sinckler's five-pointer, another penalty try and Mat Luamanu's score looked to have snatched victory for Quins but Tom Brown crossed late on to seal the win and put Edinburgh top of Pool 5.
