Perpignan 31 Edinburgh 14: Scots pay price for second-half collapse By The Courier Reporter October 21 2013, 3:11pm October 21 2013, 3:11pm Share Perpignan 31 Edinburgh 14: Scots pay price for second-half collapse Share via Facebook Twitter Linkedin Whatsapp Messenger Email Post link https://wpcluster.dctdigital.com/thecourier/sport/rugby/250603/perpignan-31-edinburgh-14-scots-pay-price-for-second-half-collapse/ Copy Link Edinburgh suffered a blow when Matt Scott failed a fitness test before the game. Edinburgh’s European revival crashed into the buffers as they suffered a fatal second-half fade-out in the south of France. Alan Solomons’ men had looked on course for another famous Heineken Cup triumph when they led at the break. But they switched off when it mattered most to allow Perpignan to stroll to a bonus point win. The main damage was done as the French grabbed two tries in as many minutes just after the restart. Then the challenge was well and truly killed off by another 14-point volley. Edinburgh had suffered a double blow just before the kick-off when Scotland pair Matt Scott and Dave Denton failed fitness tests.
