We asked for your thoughts after Edinburgh and Glasgow both secured URC victories.

Here's what you had to say:

GLASGOW

Stuart: Good bonus-point win for the Warriors. Zebre were never a real threat on the night. Warriors will need to be just a bit more clinical for the Sharks and Stormers games. George Horne, Adam Hastings and Huw Jones were outstanding for me. The lads who will fill in for those on international duty look like they will hold their own.

Peter: Performance can be described as workman-like. Penalty count higher than it has been, but did not let Zebre get a try. Franco Smith has rotated the squad well in the first four games and lots of them in different positions. Ben Afshar came onto the wing last night to add to the versatility, got to be a good thing.

Alex: Wasn't the most flowing game of rugby. But, I was fascinated and impressed by Glasgow's defence. Zebre are no mugs and they came out flying, but it became obvious pretty early on that our boys were determined to not let them through.

David: Very scrappy game, with a great defensive shift from Glasgow after the previous week's game against Cardiff. A number of the next generation got good game time and I wonder how many of them will force their way into Gregor Townsend's squad given Edinburgh's lack of form. Good rather than spectacular. Great to see Jones and Stafford McDowall back and on form.

EDINBURGH

Stuart: As a Warrior's fan I say hats off to Edinburgh. When you have your critics this was the stunning way to show them who you are. The most complete display from an Edinburgh side for a while. Ben Muncaster, Patrick Harrison, Ross Thompson and Darcy Graham all impressed. The 1872 Cup matches look far more interesting now!

Arran: Better performance, Muncaster did really well in attack and deserved player of the match. I thought Ali Price played better and was more solid, lineout needs to be fixed but overall a good first win of the season.

George: Nice to see the players fight for themselves, the club, and the jersey. Hopefully they can continue it for the rest of the season. Can't just have one of games where you play well. Was really impressed with Thompson.

Andrew: A much-improved performance and a much-needed win. Muncaster and Thompson surely starters now. Rumour mill has Duhan van de Merwe moving to France. On his performances for Edinburgh since moving back from Worcester, bon voyage!

Rob: One win doesn't fix all of the issues clearly, but equally it shows that the component parts of a successful team do exist. But we won't beat better teams by simply keeping the ball in the forwards. We must be more expansive and use the world-class backs we have.

Ian: What a difference a week makes. The players looked up for it and hungry, the team were all on the same page - aggressive, cohesive, largely accurate, much much better. Well done Edinburgh, more of that please.
