Munster move to the URC summit after narrow Edinburgh win

table after achieving a hard won, but nevertheless, deserved victory over an Edinburgh side fighting to stay in the top eight. Ultimately, Munster’s try advantage of 4-2, which secured the bonus point, was the telling statistic, and underlined the class of playmaker Jack Crowley who was voted man of the match.

From this advantageous position Edinburgh, failed to cross their opponents’ line but the home side was still able to come away with points from a penalty by the former Munster favourite Healy, who then added a further three points when the Scottish side won a scrum penalty.

Munster made several changes and straightaway the replacements made an impact. Edinburgh appeared to have survived pressure on their line but a needless penalty given away by Bill Mata allowed Coombes smashed over from close range for the bonus point try, leaving Crowley with a simple conversion kick.
