A yellow card to lock Edinburgh's Grant Gilchirst left his team vulnerable and sure enough the Bulls punished them soon after when Louw barged over. Edinburgh hit back though left-wing Charlie Savala in the corner.
The conversion sailed through the uprights and the visitors held a one-point advantage with 11 minutes to go. Meanwhile in Stellenbosch the defending champions the Stormers were always in command in their 38-15 win over Connacht. Before kickoff the teams lined up to mark the death of former Wales and British & Irish Lions No8 Eddie Butler.How he would have delighted in Stormers No 8 Evan Roos running onto the ball at speed, ridding himself of a defender and racing clear to the corner flag for the game's first try.
The Stormers were making more gains in territory and possession but imprecision at the ruck robbed them of more opportunities to advance the scoreboard in the first half.Connacht were dealt a massive blow when their Ireland international Bundee Aki was red-carded in the 60th minute for a dangerous cleanout.He remonstrated with officials before grudgingly departing the scene. The Stormers immediately seized the moment and if there was any doubt, the match was killed as a contest.
