Sam Hidalgo-Clyne's perfect performance with the boot has helped Edinburgh overcome London Irish in the quarter-finals of the inaugural European Rugby Challenge Cup.

Edinburgh were out of the blocks quickly as Hidalgo-Clyne sent over a penalty inside the first minute before WP Nel scored a converted try soon after.
Hidalgo-Clyne's kicking remained exemplary as he made two more penalties to give the visitors as 16-0 lead a quarter of the way through the match.
Shane Geraghty couldn't match Hidalgo-Clyne with the boot as he made just one of three penalties in the first half, but he did successfully convert after Conor Gilsenan's try right at the end of the first half.
That brought the Exiles within six and they were soon ahead for the first time in the game as a Geraghty penalty was followed by Scott Steele's try.
Edinburgh soon retook the lead with their first points in almost 40 minutes as Fraser McKenzie went over and Hidalgo-Clyne added the extras.
That would be the final score of the match, but there was an incredible finish as Irish thought they had scored a try which, had it been converted, would have sent them through. The TMO watched several replays of the incident and decided that David Paice hadn't grounded the ball.
It is Edinburgh then who advance to a home tie against the Newport Gwent Dragons in the last four at Murrayfield in two weeks' time.
