A golden opportunity to pick up a third consecutive win on the road, and to kill off a five-match losing streak at the Stadio Monigo, was allowed to slip through Edinburgh’s fingers when the capital outfit failed to take advantage of their opponents playing 70 minutes with 14 men or less.
“It’s definitely disappointing,” said head coach Mike Blair. “We knew this was going to be a really tough game with the team that they picked. Benetton were excellent and managed the game really well after the red card. They were really smart. But I said to the players at half-time that the game was still in our hands.
