SEAN EVERITT told Edinburgh to take the positives from their spirited EPCR Challenge Cup semi-final defeat by Bath as they bid to scramble into the United Rugby Championship (URC) play-offs.

The men from the Scottish capital went down 39-24 to the runaway Premiership leaders at The Hive on Saturday after briefly leading 17-12 in the third quarter. All of Bath’s six tries were scored by forwards.

After the end of their European adventure, Edinburgh — who are currently 10th in the URC — must now rouse themselves to try to climb into the top eight, with two games of the regulation season remaining against Connacht and Ulster.
