'Healy down to fourth in international pecking order'
BBC Scotland's chief sports writer Tom English has been answering your Scottish rugby questions.
Pete Douglas asked: Did we see anything in that Edinburgh win that suggests an evolution in the attack? I saw a lot of the same from last season. Keep in tight, forwards carrying hard but very little width or deception. Also, where does this leave Ben Healy?
Tom answered: I saw more power, more ruthlessness in finishing chances and more hunger to keep going and looking for more. Didn't see a huge evolution in attack, no. But they needed to win that game in whatever way they had to win it. Not sure it was ever going to be a bells and whistles afternoon.
A good win, but it's just one win. Edinburgh have a long, long way to go. As for Healy, I think he'll be in and out of the Edinburgh team and, for me anyway, he's down to fourth in the international pecking order behind Finn Russell, Adam Hastings and the newly available Tom Jordan.

Jock Tamson asked: Glasgow and Edinburgh are both making progress if you review the past few years. However - to sustain and grow the game we need more money. Are there any Scottish billionaires/millionaires investing money in our teams and stadiums? I remember JK Rowling being at a Scotland international…
Tom answered: I see loads of proof that Glasgow have found a new and champion level. I don't see anything to suggest that Edinburgh are on a similar path. They're under-achieving, big-time.
John McGuigan has spoken about trying to reach out to high net-worth Scots abroad to see if he could encourage them to get involved. It wouldn't be for the pro teams or stadiums, though. If he was to get any investment from individuals it would be for the advancement of youth rugby. That's where a lot of money is required. Not sure if he's managed to talk to any financial heavy-hitter about it yet. I'll ask him soon.
Stuart Findlay asked: A good win for Edinburgh (finally) but another anonymous outing for Duhan van der Merwe. With few attacking mentions of late and repeated defensive frailties, should Edinburgh be trying hard to keep him, or let him go to France where maybe he can recover some form to bring back to the Scotland setup?
Tom answered: It's a really interesting one, Stuart. Van der Merwe is arguably Edinburgh's biggest name but he's been underwhelming in an Edinburgh jersey for quite a while. He'll be a huge earner. There is a definite argument to be made about getting him off the SRU wage bill and then using that money to strengthen in a couple of positions.
A move to France hasn't done Blair Kinghorn any harm. Maybe it's what Van der Merwe needs. He looks stale to me. I've never been a fan of his work-rate or his defence or his all-round rugby nous, but as a ball-carrier there are few better. We all know how devastating he can be. He needs to recapture the best version of himself soon.
