Alan Solomons: 'Revenge is sweet for Edinburgh'

Alan Solomons says that his players must take full credit for Edinburgh's surprise victory over Gloucester in the Heineken Cup.

Alan Solomons has expressed his delight at Edinburgh's response to losing to Gloucester last week after beating the Aviva Premiership side on Sunday.

The Scottish outfit caused a shock upset and dealt Gloucester's hopes of reaching the knockout stages a blow with a 16-10 win at Kingsholm.

"We felt that we let ourselves down last week, and we were determined to put things right this weekend. The players must take full credit," Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons told reporters.

"Defensively, we were superb, and the guys that came in all did justice to themselves. I believe we set the record straight today with our performance. Wins on the road are not easy.

"Gloucester is a famous English club and Kingsholm has a tremendous reputation. We spoke about playing with character, courage and heart, and the players certainly did that. We are pleased that we are back in the frame. That is really positive."

Edinburgh are now a point behind Gloucester in the pool and six adrift of leaders Munster.
