By PA
Bulls beat Edinburgh 22-16 in a see-saw United Rugby Championship match at Pretoriaâs Loftus Versfeld Stadium. Ross Thompsonâs 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 Waltâs try then extended the advantage to 12-3 before Ewan Ashman touched down and Thompsonâs conversion reduced the gap to two points at the turnaround. Thompsonâs 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 Moodieâs try, converted by Boeta Chamberlain, before Chamberlainâs penalty stretched the lead to 22-13.

Although Thompson reduced the deficit with his third penalty of the contest, Edinburghâs 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 Everittâs men picked up a losing bonus point.
