Fijian Finesse From Giant Second Row Bill Mata Leads To Edinburgh Try

Edinburgh came agonisingly close to upsetting the applecart in round two of the URC.

Losing by two points in Pretoria to last year’s losing finalists the Bulls.

It was a heart-breaking loss for Mike Blairs side, but their performance showed that they could well be title contenders this season.

Once again it was Morne Steyn who landed a last-minute drop goal to get his side a famous victory at his long-time home of Loftus Versfeld.

In an entertaining back and forth contest there were several highlights but none more so than this piece of magic from giant Fijian Bill Mata.
