  1. Goodnight

    FT: Edinburgh 17-38 Munster

    That's all from us tonight.

    Not one Edinburgh fans will look back on with any fondness.

    We'll be back tomorrow as Glasgow take on Zebre.

    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer on Sportsound

    Very few of these players have known what it's like to win a trophy with Munster. You think of European Cups and the Pro12 - they haven't won one since 2011. That makes you hungry, that breeds desire and work-rate.

  3. 'We lacked composure' - Blair

    FT: Edinburgh 17-38 Munster

    Edinburgh head coach Mike Blair has also been giving his reaction on Sportsound.

    "Just before half-time, we'd got ourselves in a position on 39 minutes where we [should] win a lineout, kick it out, and go in 17-7 up," Blair said.

    "They scored, converted it; first play of the second half, they take advantage of a skill execution error and suddenly we're on the back foot.

    "We probably played like we were 15 points down for the next 10 minutes, rather than it being a three point ball game. We lacked a little bit of composure in there. The frustrating thing was the huge difference between what happened in the first half and the second half.

    "You can't play like that against quality opposition. Munster were able to get on the front foot with their carries, their lineout was excellent, and just put us under a lot of pressure which we didn't handle.

    "The positive thing is that we've got that first half to go back to. We struggled to get that momentum and continuity into our play, because they disrupted our lineout well and we lacked composure.

    "Chris Dean was a head knock and Darcy Graham was just a bang on his knee, so we'll just wait and see.

    "It's a good contest for us [next week]. Saracens are nine from nine, playing them away from home, a real quality opposition. We're fortunate that we get the chance to right some wrongs from today."

  4. 'We let ourselves down' - Vellacott

    FT: Edinburgh 17-38 Munster

    Edinburgh scrum-half Ben Vellacott has been giving his thoughts to BBC Sportsound.

    "That second half, fair play to Munster, they came out all guns blazing and we just didn't match them physically like we did in the first half," he said.

    "Either side of the 40 we let ourselves down, just a little bit too soft.

    [On playing Saracens next]: "That's a massive game. Obviously we're looking forward to playing Champions Cup rugby.

    "We played them last year in the Challenge Cup and did a job on them, but they're a different team this year. We're relishing the challenge."

    It was total domination second half. Once Munster got serious in the game they blew Edinburgh away. It was about power and it was about control. This is a performance from Edinburgh that would really worry me. Mike Blair has a lot of issues to resolve.

  7. Player of the Match

    FT: Edinburgh 17-38 Munster

    Munster lock Jean Kleyn was immense all night, and has been named Player of the Match.

    "We came into the game with a lot of belief," he said on Viaplay Sports. "We've been building momentum.

    "12-0 down and we come back with 31 unanswered points - proud of the boys.

    "We've been going at the same stuff since the start of the season and we're starting to reap the benefits which is lovely to see.

    "Apart from a slow start, we performed really well. Sometimes the dice rolls your way - luck comes to people who work for it.

    "If we can continue on this track, you never know what can happen."

  8. Full-time

    Edinburgh 17-38 Munster

    That is that in the Scottish capital.

    No points in a sobering second half for Edinburgh, and they also saw Darcy Graham limp off.

    Reaction to come.

  9. converted try

    Joey Carbery

    Not many teams do this to Edinburgh at the DAM Health, but Munster have played them off the park.

    They work an overlap out on the left, and Joey Carbery spins out of a tackle and dives over to score.

    Simon Zebo and Peter O'Mahoney punch the air on the Munster bench.

    Carbery converts his own try to put the icing on the cake.

  10. Edinburgh 17-31 Munster

    Edinburgh are trying to force things and shovel some proverbial...

    Time is slipping away - Mike Blair scowls in the stands.

  11. Edinburgh 17-31 Munster

    Tom Cruse shakes his head as another decision goes the way of Munster.

    Edinburgh could do with a few good men right now.

  12. Edinburgh 17-31 Munster

    This has been the defining image of the game so far.

    An imposing wall of red, and Munster celebrations.

    Munster celebrateSNS

  13. Edinburgh 17-31 Munster

    It looks for all the world like Munster are in again, but Edinburgh scramble and just about hold the ball up.

    It's a goal-line drop-out, so Munster will come again.

    Peter Wright
    Former Scotland prop on BBC Radio Scotland

    Munster have been impressive. Edinburgh's reaction has been poor, they've lacked a bit of leadership. No-one has grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck.

  15. Penalty Edinburgh 17-31 Munster

    Joey Carbery

    Munster's fly-half continues to kick his goals, and the lead now stands at 14 points.

  16. Edinburgh 17-28 Munster

    Erm, no they can't, is the short answer.

    Munster have a penalty, and Joey Carbery calls for his kicking tee.

  17. Edinburgh 17-28 Munster

    Munster make perhaps their first error of the second half as Dairmuid Barron's lineout throw isn't straight.

    Can Edinburgh build some momentum?

    They desperately need to, having shipped 21 unanswered points.

  18. Edinburgh 17-28 Munster

    A scrum penalty goes the way of Munster.

    Nothing is going right for Edinburgh now.

  19. converted try

    Converted try Edinburgh 17-28 Munster

    Gavin Coombes

    Munster have a bonus point try - Edinburgh cannot live with their forward power at the minute.

    The visitors' speed of ball is killing Edinburgh. They repeatedly go round the corner, and eventually Gavin Coombes blasts over.

    It's a fourth successful conversion for Joey Carbery, and Edinburgh have it all to do now.

  20. Edinburgh 17-21 Munster

    Patrick Harrison is replaced at hooker by debutant Tom Cruse.

    Is fixing Edinburgh's lineout mission impossible?

    I'm here all night ladies and gents...
