Bulls fight back after early scare to hold off Edinburgh
The Bulls claimed a 42-33 victory over Edinburgh in an exhilarating United Rugby Championship quarter-final at Loftus Versfeld.
Wes Goosen opened the scoring after five minutes before Ross Thompson’s double came either side of Cameron Hanekom’s try for the South Africans.
Tries from David Kriel in the 32nd minute and Harold Vorster four minutes later ensured the Bulls went into the break only 21-18 behind.
The Bulls stepped it up early in the second half as Canan Moodie showed a great turn of pace to crash over as Edinburgh’s defence had lost control.
Keagan Johannes and Ruan Nortje went over to make it 39-21 and although Edinburgh responded with efforts from Ewan Ashman and Goosen, the game was up.
