Edinburgh putting all the pressure on early on as they form numerous phases inside the Blues' 22

Laidlaw puts boot to ball early in the second half and aims to capitalise from an awarded penalty as a result of a high tackle. Unfortunately the ball strikes the woodwork and is a let off for the Blues as they clear their lines

Halftime and its the Blues who find themselves in the lead by just one point. The Single try by Alex Cuthbert has allowed them to sneak ahead midway through the first 40. Laidlaw on the other hand will be happy to kick 3 point all night, he has 100% boot so far with 4 from 4 and has allowed them enter the mid point just 1 point behind. A nice performance from both sides from the word go and I'm sure both sides have plenty more in the tank for the second half. Stay with us here at UR to find out..

Laidlaw once again strikes perfectly and the gap narrowed to just 1 point

Cardiff could be down to 14 if they don't watch their discipline, referee George Clancy has set the rules straight and the next deliberate infringement will see yellow

Beautiful kick in behind by Leonard and the ball sneaks into touch just 15 metres from the try line

Laidlaw fights right back and slots his 3rd effort of the afternoon. Edinburgh just 4 points behind after half an hour of play

Great team effort by the Blues as they manage to set up numerous phases inside Edinburgh's half. The ball makes it through 5 sets of hands before Cuthbert steps around his man and dives over for the first try of the game deep in the right corner. Halfpenny slots the conversion right beside the sideline.
