The Vodacom Bulls secured their second win of the United Rugby Championship (URC), as they narrowly beat Scottish side Edinburgh in Pretoria.

The Bulls had to contend with a nervy finish to the game as they survived a late penalty scare, Sports Brief earlier reported.

The home side ran out 33-31 winners after Henry Immelman missed a long-range penalty attempt that would have given Edinburgh the win with the last kick of the game.
