Edinburgh Target Murrayfield Fightback in 1872 Cup Second Leg

Darcy Graham says a fast, clinical start at a packed Murrayfield can flip the contest.

Overview

  • Edinburgh trail by 12 points on aggregate after a 24-12 first leg at Hampden, with the 1872 Cup decided over two matches.
  • Darcy Graham says the aim is to win and chase five URC points, adding that an early try could open the game.
  • He highlighted frustration over limited early possession and vowed to build phases to involve the back three and finish more clinically in the red zone.
  • Graham welcomed the return to Murrayfield after a low‑key Hampden atmosphere and expects over 30,000 fans, hoping attendance nears 40,000.
  • One preview report notes Glasgow have recently benched or rested six of their eight forwards, a selection trend that could influence the rematch.
