Congrats to Edinburgh.

All Connacht supporters should take heart from this result, if one of only two teams below us in the Rabo can make it to the semi final of the Hein Cup then there is no reason that Connacht cannot at least get out of the group stage, provided we qualify again!

Congrats to Edinburgh. They stuck to their task superbly, big win for them. Toulouse are a shadow of the side they were, would never have a lost a game like that a couple of years ago. Really adds to the spice of tomorrows game, whoever comes through that should have few problems at home to Edinburgh if they have their heads screwed on.

Well done Edinburgh and Mr B.

Toulouse half backs were poor though. They should have better money considering their budget

I'm glad for them. Must be depressing as F*ck running out in that huge stadium with barely anyone their. I wonder what sort of crowd Toulouse will bring over?

any money made by both scottish clubs at the gate will be spilt 50/50 between them which would incourage glasgow fans to turn up too and support edinburgh knowing there club will get that money back

Good to see a decent crowd coming out for Edinburgh's big game, critical that they git a big crowd into Murrayfied to give them every chance. If they can rediscover their HEC form, which wwill be a lot easier when their Internationals are back, they have every chance of causing an upset, they were certainly well worth their 1/4 Final place that's for sure...

More than 20,000 fans have booked their seat for the match against Toulouse in April.


A record number of tickets have been sold for the Murrayfield fixture

EdinburghRugby have sold more tickets than ever before for their Heineken Cup quarter-final due to take place at Murrayfield next month.

The game is set to be the biggest in the club’s history with more than 20,000 fans having booked their seat for the Easter weekend contest.

The previous record of 17,174 was set in 2003 in the final of the Celtic Cup final against Ulster.

The club is delighted with the interest shown for the fixture as demand for tickets remains high.

Craig Docherty chief executive said: “The rush for tickets in this past week has been extraordinary, it’s a case of getting in quick to grab the best seats for the hottest ticket in town.”

With more than a month to go the club’s bosses hope to increase crowds to a figure closer to the quarter-final records for England and the UK which sit at 32,500 and 36,728 respectively.

Docherty said: He said: “To be in a position to consider challenging a UK record crowd is a credit to the enthusiasm of the Edinburgh Rugby fans and the greater Scottish rugby community.

“We’re working exceptionally hard to make this a massive event, on and off the pitch, and at this rate we could reach another significant milestone for the club and the professional game in Scotland come kick-off.

“This is now undeniably the biggest club rugby match in Scottish history and we need to pull on every available resource, none more so than the power of the crowd, as we take on Toulouse for a place in the semi-finals.”
