'Mon Embra!
That's that for the first 40 minutes of Pro12 action, with Edinburgh deservedly ahead at the interval. Positive play from the visitors throughout, matched with a high level of physicality and they find themselves three points in front of their Irish counterparts. Having dominated the collisions, to go with scrum superiority, Alan Solomons' men have looked impressive despite losing the services of Tomas Leonardi for a suspect tip tackle. About 2 minutes left on the sin bin for Leonardi. Lots to work on at the break for Munster, with ball retention surely top of the list having coughed it up on multiple occasions. Lack of direction thus far, with WIliiams' service average at best. Stick with us for continued analysis in the second 40 folks. Where does everyone see this one going?
Totally agree
Free play and a play to nothing for the visitors. Pass drifts forward to Visser on the outside but despite the cool finish, it will be ruled out and we'll come back for captain Donncha O'Callaghan not rolling away. Chance to extend the lead for Heathcote with the clock in the red here at Thomond Park
Hugely physical stuff at the breakdown from the visitors and they're winning the majority of collisions as it stands. Huge clean outs coming in. Penalty advantage
Edinburgh go to the maul before its Strauss who's sent up the middle. Play on Munster 22
O'Mahony gathers the restart and looks to turn it out. Williams fumbles at the base and the clearing kick goes straight over the line having brought the ball back in. Edinburgh LO inside Munster 22 to restart. Poor stuff from the hosts
Just hit that incorrectly
Poor miss from about 5 wide of the posts
Munster inches short of the line and its Stander who gets over to galvanise the home support and reward O'Callaghan for his decision to go to the corner. Powerful running from the South African but poor effort on defence from the visitors. Keatley to take the lead from a relatively regulation angle
Munster
