Director of coaching David Young says the Blues’ performance in the 12-17 home defeat against Edinburgh Rugby was ‘unacceptable’.

‘The first half was particularly bad’, he added. ‘We played the best part of 40 minutes without the ball and Edinburgh’s off-loading in the tackle stretched us to the limit. Our skill levels left a lot to be desired and I told the boys at half-time that everything that was happening was totally unacceptable’.
