The same combination instantly combined again, this time Ojomoh pulled the ball back to Cokanasiga cutting a devastating line. The wing could easily have scored himself but unselfishly obeyed his captain Spencer’s instruction to pass inside. By now Edinburgh were waving the white flag as Arundell, Cokanasiga and Ojomoh each finished well to put an exclamation point on an emphatic performance.
