Edinburgh head coach Rob Moffat was left bemoaning the concession of too many "cheap points" after his side's 21-14 defeat by the Cardiff Blues at Murrayfield on Saturday evening.

A try from Ben Cairns and nine points from the boot of Chris Paterson helped the hosts into a 14-9 lead but their discipline betrayed them in the final quarter as they gave away four penalties, all of which were converted by Blues winger Leight Halfpenny.

"I thought we defended well for long stages but we gave way some cheap points," Moffat said after Edinburgh's fifth defeat from six games in Heineken Cup pool 1. "I thought we put a lot into the game and I couldn't fault the effort.

"At 14-9 I thought we were on top and thought it would come down to the next score. I'm a bit frustrated because I thought we worked hard for 55-60 minutes but we didn't kick on and win the game.

"Europe is a fantastic competition but you have got to be right at the top of your game. We've played well in patches but that's not enough."
