Round 4 | Edinburgh 31–10 10bet Lions

The 10bet Lions arrived in Scotland carrying more than a kit bag. A week after the death of lock Hyron Andrews, the squad took the field against the competition’s form side, and for forty minutes they matched them.

In wet, greasy conditions, the half-time score read 5–3. Hector Patterson finished a Matt Currie break on 20 minutes, Chris Smith’s penalty kept the 10bet Lions in touch, and a defensive stand against an Edinburgh maul near the line showed the grit that had carried the side through two home wins to open the season.

The second half belonged to Edinburgh. Missed lineout throws handed them territory, and they made it count with four tries after the break. Batho Hlekani’s 57th-minute score, converted by Smith, briefly cut the gap to 19–10. Patterson then struck again from a quick-tap penalty, sealing the bonus point and Player of the Match honours.

Five tries to one. It was a second straight away defeat, and Edinburgh stay unbeaten at the top of the table.

For the record: 10bet Lions: Try: Hlekani. Con: Smith. Pen: Smith.
