They go for the corner again. Driving maul coming?

Advantage Edinburgh. Forward they come for a few phases. Darcy Graham jinks inside but is brought down. We go back for the penalty. Good start from the hosts.

A early sign of intent shown here by Edinburgh. Stuart McInally wins a penalty in the Munster 22. It's kickable, but they go for the corner. Bold.

A good exit from their own 22 by Munster. Conor Murray with a box kick, I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty more of those.

And we're underway at Murrayfield. Here we go...

The players are out. There are more than a few Munster fans over too, a sea of red.

It is only the third time Edinburgh have reached the knockout stages of Europe's elite competition, and the first since 2012, when they reached the semi-finals. Indeed, this season was the first since 2013/14 that the club had even qualified for the Champions Cup.

Munster, on the other hand, are two-time winners of the competition- in 2005/06 and 2007/08- and reached the semi-finals last year. Will the gap in European pedigree be a factor today?

Munster second-row Tadhg Beirne is nothing short of a monster over the ball. The Ireland international finished last season's Champions Cup campaign with 18 turnovers won - more than anyone else - as he helped Scarlets reach the last four. He is top of the charts again this term with 13. You would bank on him adding to that tally this afternoon.

Edinburgh head coach Richard Cockerill tells BBC Scotland he expects a performance from his side today.

"It's a big day for us, it's a big day in our development and learning how to play in these games in this environment against these teams," he said. "We have to front up, take ownership and we have to win.

"I don't want to be content with a plucky performance and be happy with where we've got to. We've got an opportunity to do something special and we don't want to let that opportunity slip. But we know the task ahead of us is a big one."

It's fair to say Darcy Graham has set the heather alight this season. The diminutive winger makes the switch to the full-back position for this game to accommodate Damien Hoyland and Duhan van der Merwe on the wings, with Blair Kinghorn out for the season.

Graham has enjoyed an excellent European campaign so far, and statistically ranks among the top performing back-three players in the competition. Lightening quick and deceptively powerful, Edinburgh will want to get the ball in his hands as much as possible.

Munster's defence is arguably the meanest in Europe. They conceded the fewest points and tries in the Champions Cup pool stages, an average of just 12 points per game. They're also top of the defence stats in the Pro14, again conceding the fewest tries and points.

Solid.

Munster coach Johann Van Grann makes 11 changes to the side that beat Zebre last week, as he welcomes back his Irish international contingent.

Fly-half Joey Carbery returns to Murrayfield where he starred for Ireland in their victory over Scotland last month, having recovered from a hamstring injury. He's partnered by Conor Murray at scrum-half. Andrew Conway and Keith Earls start on the wings with Mike Haley at full-back. Chris Farrell is selected alongside Rory Scannell in the centres.

Dave Kilcoyne, Niall Scannell and John Ryan form an all new front row, Jean Kleyn and breakdown specialist Tadhg Beirne form the lock pairing, with Jack O'Donoghue, Peter O'Mahony and powerhouse number eight CJ Stander completing the back row.

With their Pro14 play-off hopes still in the balance, Edinburgh couldn't afford to rest many bodies last week against Leinster.

Captain Stuart McInally was one who had his feet up in that win though, and he returns today at hooker. Darcy Graham shifts from wing to full-back with Blair Kinghorn injured and Damien Hoyland comes in on the wing. Lock Grant Gilchrist and centre Chris Dean also return to the XV.

John Barclay continues in the back-row for what will only be his second game for the club, having made his comeback from an achilles injury last week. You can read about his painstaking 10-month recovery in his BBC Sport column here.

This promises to be a belter of an afternoon at Murrayfield. The two sides are fairly evenly matched on paper, even if Munster are slight favourites with the bookies.

Edinburgh won't be too bothered by that though. The last time they were in a Champions Cup quarter-final was in 2012. Back then it was the famous Toulouse who came to Murrafield and they were turned over 19-14 in front of almost 40,000 fans. Will we see something similar this afternoon?
