  Edinburgh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edinburgh (pronounced /ˈɛdɪnˌbrə/), Dùn Èideann (/tuːn ˈeːtʃən/) in Scottish Gaelic, is the second-largest city in Scotland and its capital city.
Edinburgh is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom after the City of London and the fifth largest in Europe.
Edinburgh is the country's most popular tourist destination in terms of visitor numbers, and the second most popular in the UK after London, with numbers growing substantially each year, particularly in the budget travel and backpacking sector, assisted by the growth of Edinburgh Airport and direct rail links to the rest of the country.

 Scotland on Sunday - Sport - Win fires Gunners into the last eight   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
Still atop Pool A at the final whistle, Edinburgh are now guaranteed a place in the quarter-finals, but failed to deliver a crucial fourth try which means home advantage at that stage of the competition still needs to be secured at home to Neath - their final pool fixture - in three weeks’ time.
Edinburgh were once again using Alistair Dickson coming on to an early ball at pace to dent the first line of the Welsh defence, then relying on their highly-effective back row (minus Martin Leslie, resting yesterday) to recycle quickly before trying to attack out wide from second or subsequent phase possession.
Edinburgh had been guilty of taking their foot off the pedal for periods before - after the interval in the game against Caerphilly - and these worrying lapses seemed to be reappearing.

 Todd Blackadder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While he was a good captain at the New Zealand provincial level, he was often found to be lacking at the test level.
He was the first assistant forwards coach of Scotland's first foreign head coach Matt Williams, and became the forwards coach of the Gunners under Frank Hadden, while still playing sometimes.
He is currently (February 2006) head coach of the Edinburgh Gunners.

The Gunners failed to fire from the start and it looked like it would be the reigning Celtic champions night as Stefan Terblanche scored for the Welsh side after barely a minute.
Edinburgh got their act together midway through the half and their pack started to make inroads through prop Allan Jacobsen and Taylor.
Edinburgh started the second half full of fire and were soon rewarded when Scott Murray stole a lineout and after some slick work, Taylor went over to give Paterson a simple conversion.

Gunners were handed a further opportunity to get vital points on the board for another offside verdict, however this time Paterson was wide.
Gunners skipper Paterson was also showing signs of mounting annoyance over the penalty count against his side by pernickety ref Dickson.
The rattled Gunners upped the ante in a bid to turn the tide, but a combination of robust defence and panicky mistakes ensured that the Reivers held out with comfort for one of the best results in their troubled history.

Francisco Leonelli and super-sub Simon Webster were the Gunners saviours as they left it late to kick-start their Celtic League title quest in a dour affair at Murrayfield.
Gunners kept up the pressure and opted for a penalty scrum in the danger zone — however the chance evaporated when Hugo Southwell was swamped by markers.
The action continued to be nervy and lacking in fluency and the Gunners blew yet another opportunity shortly after the restart.

The result was Edinburgh breakaway forward Ally Hogg being sent to the bin for a high challenge and Connacht lock Christian Short followed him into the sin-bin for an illegal block on Francisco Leonelli.
Edinburgh put their foot on the accelerator later in the half with three tries in a few minute and in doing so bagging the bonus point.

Edinburgh Rugby were created to compete in the Heineken Cup as the SRU did not think that Scottish club sides could compete against the best teams from France and England.

 Ulster 27-21 Edinburgh - [Sunday Herald]
The Gunners recovered from that setback and almost snatched the lead when a searing break from Marcus Di Rollo was carried on by Derrick Lee and Brendan Laney, who volleyed the ball before being pipped in a race to the line by Neil Doak.
Worse was to come for Edinburgh, as Simon Webster was hustled off the ball as he gathered an up and under and, with two Ulster players bearing down on him as he tried to tidy up, Lee fumbled and allowed Neil Best to touch down.
That said, failure on the pitch should not detract from the organisation of an event that lured 17,174 souls to the national stadium, silencing the doubters who had pressed for the final to be played elsewhere.

Magners entered into a one year agreement in July 2004 as the main sponsors of Edinburgh’s professional outfit with the option of extending that deal for an increased period.
It is exciting for us that Magners have identified the potential in Edinburgh both on and off the field, with the experiences of last year confirming how both partners can work together to effectively promote the two brands.

Edinburgh look particularly strong at second row with the arrival of British Lion Scott Murray, which allows Davidson the chance to lend experience - he has also started against Pontypridd, Neath and Ebbw Vale - to the fledgling Borders side.

More importantly from Edinburgh's point of view, the Fijian has recently won four full caps for his country as a blindside flanker in recent World Cup qualifying matches.
He makes the sort of hits that have the back row of the stand wincing in sympathy and, as he says himself: "Sometimes you start with a smile and end with a brawl, sometimes it's the other way round".
The army have given Private Satala leave to train with Edinburgh every day - the player reckons he's missed just one session in the whole of pre-season - and have also given him a job in their welfare office that allows him the time to do so.

The conversion was from the widest possible angle but Paterson still hit the target and then snatched the lead with a penalty.
Gunners regained the initiative thanks to Dewey, who battered through two Ospreys defenders on the halfway line before thundering home, and Paterson's third conversion opened up a nine-point gap.

EDINBURGH will play their home games at Murrayfield Stadium this season after the capital’s professional rugby team rejected an option to remain at Meadowbank Stadium for a further season.
The team had spent the last two years at Meadowbank and the move was announced after plans to groundshare with Hibernian were ruled out because the football club was concerned about over-use of its Easter Road stadium.
It would have been interesting to see where Edinburgh would have played next season if Hearts had pursued an option to play at Murrayfield when the new football season starts next month.

THE record books of professional rugby show that Edinburgh have only played once, and lost, in Perpignan before now, in the old "conference" competition, but, in fact, a star-studded line-up from the capital did strike victory in this Catalan city in 1979.
It also laid the platform for Edinburgh, in 1979-80, reclaiming the district championship title outright for the first time in eight years.
He said: "It was the pre-season after Heriot’s won the official championship for the first time and Edinburgh had a very good side with a great team spirit.

Edinburgh Gunners and Scotland back-row forward Simon Taylor made a welcome return to the field on the back pitches at Murrayfield, playing through the first half of the Gunners back-up squad’s 7-5 loss to a Munster A side.
Edinburgh were penalised just outside their 22 but Keeshan’s attempt at goal sailed wide of the mark.
The Gunners were then gifted an opportunity to take the lead but Monro was also unsuccessful from a penalty at the other end of the park in which Munster were pinned by referee Andy MacPherson for killing the ball.

Once on top, of course, Edinburgh still had to turn the screw but as Hadden again acknowledged there was something "clinical" about Edinburgh that particularly appealed.
Much of Edinburgh's dominance was also due to a forward pack in which Matt Mustchin showed superb sleight of hand, props Dave Hewett and Craig Smith scrummaged brilliantly and Simon Cross ran down virtually every loose ball.

The hardy folk that ‘escaped’ to attend Edinburgh Gunners’ clash with the Celtic Warriors were treated to a cracking match that was much more rewarding than any party hat or faulty bottle opener.
With Chris Paterson continuing the form he showed in the World Cup at No. 10 Edinburgh always looked in control and, minus the Warriors last minutes try, the score line would have been as convincing as the performance.
The Gunners, with Paterson, Laney and Lee in scoring form, must increase their level of performance for the upcoming Heineken Cup matches against Toulouse and Neath.
