Sam Hidalgo-Clyne starred as Edinburgh defeated Grenoble 28-10 at Murrayfield this evening.

Cornell Du Preez gave Edinburgh the lead when he crossed after five minutes.

Hidalgo-Clyne missed the conversion but made no mistake when given another chance with his boot after 23 minutes.

The fly-half added three more points to put Edinburgh into the driving seat before half time.

James Hart got Grenoble's first points on the board with the boot in the 50th minute, before Hidalgo-Clyne added three more at the other end with a 43m kick.

Edinburgh were awarded a penalty try with 20 minutes remaining after an infringement at the scrum.

Grenoble scored their only try of the game when Daniel Kilioni intercepted Damien Hoyland's pass.

Du Preez added Edinburgh's final try with two minutes remaining to cap off a successful night for the Scottish capital club.
