Tim Visser wants to end his Edinburgh career lifting European silverware at the ground he will call home next season. The final of the European Challenge Cup is now tantalisingly within reach for Alan Solomons’ side after their heroic quarter-final triumph over London Irish. Only Newport Gwent Dragons stand in their way in what will be a tough semi-final at BT Murrayfield in a fortnight. Should the Scots prevail, they will head for Twickenham Stoop - home of Harlequins for whom winger Visser signed a two-year deal this month. Tim Visser was a key player in Edinburgh's dramatic win over London Irish at the Madejski Stadium . ‘The Stoop is going to be my future home ground and it would be great to get to know it by playing a final there,’ he said. ‘For that to be one of my final games for Edinburgh and to pick up silverware would make things pretty special, really emotional and a great end to my time at the club. ‘Helping Edinburgh bring the first major trophy back home would be the perfect way to give back something to the club, to repay them for all they have done through the years, all the good friends I have made, all the good memories.’ Scotland cap Visser was one of Edinburgh’s key men in the dramatic win at the Madejski Stadium. He played a crucial role in a mighty rearguard action when he joined the scrum as a flanker following the sin-binning of prop John Andress. VIsser is hopeful he can end his Edinburgh career at the ground he will call home from next season . And it is the strength of character shown in those closing minutes that has convinced him the season will end with silverware and a top-six spot in the Pro12. ‘That was an unbelievable win and you can’t under-estimate its significance,’ he said. ‘I was at the scrum in the end and the way Dicko (Alasdair Dickinson) held up their player when he went over the line in that final minute showed the desire we had to come away with a win. ‘The way we defended in those final moments shows the fight of the boys to get underneath the ball at the end and keep them out. Edinburgh will have to see off Newport Gwent Dragons if they are to reach the final at the Stoop . ‘The Edinburgh of old would have probably let that through and we would have lost. ‘We work hard for each other. That is exactly what you saw at the end of the game. Our aim is to finish in the top six and to lift the European Challenge Cup. Both are definitely on.’
