Leinster coach Michael Cheika was a disappointed man despite seeing his side reach the last eight of the Heineken Cup.
Edinburgh boss sings the praises of young duo after away defeat
Leinster coach Michael Cheika admitted his side had endured a frustrating afternoon against Glasgow - even though they reached the last eight of the Heineken Cup.
The Irish province made sure they finished on top of Pool Two with a 12-3 win over their Magners League rivals at the RDS.
Despite dominating the game Leinster had to rely on the boot of Felipe Contepomi, who was on target with all four of his penalty attempts, for all their points.
The lack of a bonus point did not make a difference though as nearest rivals Wasps crashed to a 21-15 defeat to Castres.
Dominated
"I don't think anyone is under any illusions. We definitely dominated," Cheika said.
"We had all the possession. We defended pretty well when they did have it but we couldn't deliver the knockout blow. Obviously our tactics changed when we knew what was happening in the (Wasps) game as well.
"We were in their territory for so long and we just couldn't manage to get over. Maybe we were a little too focused on getting over instead of playing what we organise ourselves to play when we get in those areas of the field.
"We had a plan, but it became very evident after a certain period that we weren't getting four tries, once the rain came down.
"We adjusted to a different approach but there is no approach in football that says don't score tries. We are frustrated we didn't score more but we're very happy we are in the quarter-final."
Edinburgh coach Andy Robinson felt his side had turned in a courageous display on their travels, particularly youngsters Kyle Traynor and Greig Laidlaw.
Dead rubber
The visitors - who finish third in the final group table - only managed a penalty from Chris Paterson in what was a 'dead rubber' for them.
"When you look at rugby, it's about getting a foothold in the game and I guess we had a couple of chances early on and we didn't take those chances," Robinson said.
"Overall I am really pleased with the way the players fronted up. It was very courageous. We saw some young players like Kyle Traynor coming in and Greig Laidlaw playing at scrum-half.
"I think those two guys put their hands up for the squad and it's looking good for Edinburgh in the future."
