Result: Edinburgh clinch comfortable win over Agen

Edinburgh maintain their 100% start to the European Rugby Challenge Cup with a 27-6 win over Agen.

Edinburgh have maintained their unbeaten start to the European Rugby Challenge Cup pool stage with a 27-6 win over Agen.

The French side made it difficult for the visitors in the opening 20 minutes, but Greg Tonks kicked a couple of penalties to put Edinburgh ahead, before a penalty try following an error in the scrum allowed the Scottish side to extend their advantage just before the break.

John Hardie set up Edinburgh's second try of the night at the start of the second half, offloading to Cornell Du Preez, who broke clear down the sideline before leaping over.

The rain began to fall as the match progressed, resulting in a knock-on from Edinburgh to let Agen get their first points on the board, with Clement Darbo kicking twice in five minutes.

Hardie made sure the home side did not get back into the tie though, grounding the ball from a driving maul, before the visitors survived a series of late lineouts from Agen to prevent the French club getting across the line.
