EDINBURGH winger Damien Hoyland promised after Saturday’s 24-17 defeat to a Benetton side who had a player sent off after just 10 minutes, and who were reduced to 13 men twice during the second half due to yellow cards, that his team’s failings would not be swept under the carpet.
The capital outfit travelled to Treviso looking to pick up a third away win on the bounce – after getting the better of Zebre and Cardiff on their own patches during the last month – but ended up being bullied out of the game by a team who drew inspiration from adversity, and who played a smarter and more aggressive brand of rugby over the whole 80 minutes.
