The hosts scored three tries in the first half and sent the Lions into the break 17-0 down. 

 

The Lions' second half was better, with a try by Franco Horn, while a late try to Jaco Visagie made the scoreline look a bit more respectable.

 

Edinburgh will next meet the winner of the round of 16 game that takes place this afternoon, between the Bulls and Bayonne.
