Edinburgh suffered another heavy defeat in Johannesburg, with the Lions running in eight tries in a completely dominant performance. Sean Everitt's side have now registered just two wins in their last eight games and sit 12 points behind the play-off places with only five matches remaining in the season.

The Lions tore through Edinburgh's defense from the start, with lock Ruan Venter opening the scoring just 26 minutes in. Francke Horne added a second before brilliant team play led to tries for Darrien Landsberg and Morne van den Berg. Bronson Mills crossed before halftime as the Lions built a commanding 35-0 lead at the break.

Despite the overwhelming deficit, Edinburgh showed some fight in the second half through tries from Ewan Ashman, Freddy Douglas, and Matt Currie. However, the Lions responded with scores from Angelo Davids and substitute Hassiem Pead, securing their bonus-point victory. The defeat continues Edinburgh's worrying trajectory as they prepare for their remaining fixtures.
