  1. Edinburgh 10-10 Munster

    Very. very slow ball. Edinburgh eventually kick the ball into the Munster 22.

    Andrew Conway gathers, he's wrestled to the ground and Hamish Watson pounces. The Irishman is pinged for holding on. Kickable penalty to Edinburgh.

  2. Edinburgh 10-10 Munster

    Some nice footwork by Chris Dean takes him over the gain-line. They spin the ball right and Jaco van der Walt grubbers a kick into the Munster 22. The Irish side will have the line-out.

    All a bit slow from Edinburgh.

  3. Penalty- Edinburgh 10-10 Munster

    Tyler Bleyendaal

    The South African kicks a simple penalty and it's all square.

  4. Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Munster work it wide left through Andrew Conway, and then there's high tackle by Bill Mata. Silly from the big Fijian. Tyler Bleyendaal lines up the kick.

  5. Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Munster penalty. Edinburgh judged to have walked round the scrum. Tyler Bleyendaal takes us into the Edinburgh half.

  6. Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Now it's a Munster scrum. Tadgh Beirne redeems himself by charging down Henry Pyrgos' kick. Jaco Van der Walt then knocks on.

  7. Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Poor start by Munster. Tadgh Beirne drops the ball while trucking it up and it's Edinburgh's scrum on halfway.

  8. Kick-off

    Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Munster's Tyler Bleyendaal resumes the battle. What does the next 40 have in store?

  9. Munster need to 'stick it up the jumper'

    HT: Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Tom English

    Munster's kicking game isn't working. Their strength is up front. If they keep it tight and go through the phases, stick it up the jumper, it's what they do best. It's what they should revert to.

  10. Graham's star continues to rise

    HT: Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    Going on the sevens circuit last year has been really good for Darcy Graham's development, as it's a tough environment for young players. Every time he gets the ball it adds more money to his contract because he just keeps getting better and better.

  11. 'It was Edinburgh's half'

    HT: Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Chris Paterson
    Former Scotland international on Rugby Sportsound

    It was Edinburgh's half. They managed the important sides of the game better. They struggled for a bit after Munster's try but they'll be pleased. [Munster coach] Johann Van Graan will be thinking if they can get ahead they can hold out. But how can they get ahead of this confident and well-drilled Edinburgh side?

  12. Nip and tuck

  13. 'Compelling' first forty five

    HT: Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    It's been compelling. So close. Edinburgh are on the front foot. They've created quite a bit.

  14. Half-time- Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Well, that was as ferociously contested as we thought it would be.

    Keith Earls opened the scoring for Munster, his quick thinking at a penalty allowing him to breeze over uncontested.

    But after initially finding themselves denied by Munster on a number of occasions, Edinburgh hit back through Chris Dean. Jaco van der Walt added a penalty to give them a slender lead. It's set up for a belter of a second half!

  15. Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Darcy Graham makes a superb break from full-back and then puts a kick through. It's gathered by Munster's Tyler Bleyendaal though and play breaks down. Graham maybe had more space to run into than he thought there.

    Nonetheless, it shows how dangerous he can be, and Munster are kicking plenty of ball to him.

  16. Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Yet more exchanging of box kicks here. Munster have it. Arno Botha bursts them out of their 22 with a powerful run.

  17. 'Quick ball' key for Edinburgh

    Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    Edinburgh look really dangerous when they get quick ball. That's what happened at the try and penalty and the Munster defenders are maybe starting to tire. Any defence hates playing against quick ball.

  18. Carbery blow for Munster

    Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    That's a huge blow for Munster. Fly-half Joey Carbery limps off and is replaced by Tyler Bleyendaal. He was a doubt for this game in the first place due to a hamstring injury.

  19. Penalty- Edinburgh 10-7 Munster

    Jaco van der Walt

    The South African fly-half knocks it over.

  20. Edinburgh 7-7 Munster

    Edinburgh work it left via Damien Hoyland and James Johnstone- they look a threat when they go wide.

    They get the penalty- I think for offside- Van der Walt lines the ball up in front of the posts.
