Ultimate rugby is the score a fair reflection on the match so far

TRY CARDIFF. No mistake this time, the TMO had only given Edinburgh some temporary rest-bite as openside Ellis Jenkins spots the gap and crosses for his side's second try right on the stroke of half time. Patchell converts and the score is 14-0.

Cardiff looked to be in for a second try after a good team move but a forward pass in the build up meant the try is ruled out by TMO.

Blindside Mike Coman is sent to the bin making it 14 a side. Persistent infringements is the reason given

Sutherland is cleared to return and that earlier change with Shiells is reversed.

Yellow card for the hosts, number 8 Manoa Vosawai sent to the bin for a dangerous high tackle. From the resultant penalty Jade Te Rure misses a relatively easy chance from in front, hitting the posts. Still 7-0 to Cardiff.

Change in the front row for Edinburgh, Grant Shiells replaces the injured Rory Sutherland.

Edinburgh respond well by moving sharply downfield to win a line-out just 5 out. They are then penalised themselves however and the hosts clear.

TRY CARDIFF. The decision to turn down the 3 points proves to be an inspired one as Cardiff secure their own line-out before scrum-half Lloyd Williams snipes around the edge of a ruck to cross for the opening score. Patchell converts, 7-0.

Patchell has another chance to go for the posts but instead opts for the corner. Good attacking opportunity now for Cardiff.
