Lions make it four in a row as they edge Edinburgh in URC clash

The Lions have made it four home wins out of four when they beat Edinburgh in a hard-fought United Rugby Championship (URC) encounter at Ellis Park on Saturday.

The Lions ran out 15-9 winners after trailing the visitors 5-6 at half-time.

The home side ran in two tries thanks to flyhalf Jordan Hendrikse and flanker Vincent Tshituka, while Hendrikse kicked a conversion and a penalty.

Their defence, which has been a hallmark of their winning run at home once again was impressive, with Edinburgh's points coming from the two penalties from Emiliano Boffelli and a drop goal by Henry Immelman.
