Leigh Halfpenny returned from injury to kick Cardiff Blues to a 16-11 victory over Edinburgh at Murrayfield.
The Wales international slotted three penalties and a conversion of Chris Czekaj's try to condemn the Scots to their fifth straight league defeat. A late fightback from Edinburgh proved valiant enough to secure a bonus point, but Tim Visser's last-gasp try and two David Blair penalties were unable to halt their losing streak.
The first quarter was dominated by the Welsh side, with Xavier Rush and Paul Tito making notable contributions in the early stages, their frequent strong carries keeping the Edinburgh defence on their toes. The first chance fell to the visitors, centre Dafydd Hewitt, and back row Martyn Williams combining to carve open the home defence. The ball was recycled and moved left, only for Halfpenny to knock on with the line at his mercy.
