When Edinburgh are on top form, they tend to win matches thanks to their attacking flair – and with something to spare. But after a run of games that has seen them pick up no more than losing bonus points, there has been a change of emphasis in training this week as they prepare for tomorrow’s URC match at home to Zebre.
The focus, according to Connor Boyle, has been on attention to detail. That means, among other factors, concentrating on getting the small things right and cutting down on avoidable errors.
And perhaps most importantly, when they are on top in a particular aspect of the contest, it also means knowing how to ram home their advantage until victory is secured.
