Bulls beat Edinburgh 22-16 in a see-saw United Rugby Championship match at Pretoria’s Loftus Versfeld Stadium. Ross Thompson’s penalty had Edinburgh ahead in the 15th minute but the hosts hit back when Jannes Kirsten crossed and Jaco van der Walt converted.

Van der Walt’s try then extended the advantage to 12-3 before Ewan Ashman touched down and Thompson’s conversion reduced the gap to two points at the turnaround. Thompson’s penalty seven minutes after the restart edged the Scottish side ahead and lifted hopes of their first win of the campaign at the second attempt.

However, Bulls took control with Canan Moodie’s try, converted by Boeta Chamberlain, before Chamberlain’s penalty stretched the lead to 22-13.

    Although Thompson reduced the deficit with his third penalty of the contest, Edinburgh’s hopes of a late rally were not helped when Ashman picked up a second yellow card.

    Bulls held on to ensure victory in their first match of the campaign, although Sean Everitt’s men picked up a losing bonus point.
