    Edinburgh 17-21 Munster

    Munster were rumbling forward menacingly there, but a superb steal from Jamie Ritchie allows Edinburgh to clear.

    Blair Kinghorn's kick stayed infield, which allows Munster to attack again, but Mark Bennett gets over the ball to win a penalty.

    They needed a big defensive set, and that's what they got

    A high tackle from Boan Venter gifts Munster a penalty, which Joey Carbery kicks into the corner.

    Edinburgh need a big defensive set here.

    Edinburgh 17-21 Munster

    Edinburgh have a lineout on halfway, but Patrick Harrison's throw is squint - not for the first time tonight.

    Edinburgh need to do something about their lineout, it's not working at all.

    Calvin Nash

    A scintillating start to the second half for Munster - they lead for the first time tonight.

    Joey Carbery throws a delightful, disguised pass short to Calvin Nash, and the winger scores under the posts.

    Carbery pops over the extras.

    The most untidy of exits by Edinburgh, but Blair Kinghorn's clearing kick is decent enough.

    Both sets of coaches will be livid, because there were so many soft scores. Edinburgh are playing some lovely rugby, but can't get a firm hold on the game. Their lineout is a catastrophe and that's holding them back.

    That Joey Carbery conversion is the final act of a gripping first half.

    All to play for after the break.

    And the visitors score as the clock ticks past the 40 minute mark.

    A brilliant running line from Rory Scannell sees the Munster centre score under the posts with Edinburgh's defence stretched.

    Conversion successful and the gap is cut to just three.

    Munster are on the attack here as we move towards half-time...

    Jamie Ritchie

    A fantastic try!

    Bill Mata starts things off, blasting over the gain-line with a great carry after Chris Dean found him with a delicate little pass.

    Dean then takes the ball flat to the line again, and releases Blair Kinghorn out the back, who in turn finds Jamie Ritchie out wide.

    The Scotland captain stretches out and just about gets the ball down - it's a wonderful team score.

    Kinghorn's conversion is just shy.

    Edinburgh 12-7 Munster

    This game has been played at breakneck speed, but the last couple of minutes have been slightly scrappy.

    Munster are pinged as Calvin Nash goes into a ruck from the side - Blair Kinghorn kicks the penalty downfield.

    Edinburgh 12-7 Munster

    Darcy Graham looks to be in a lot of pain here - worrying times for Edinburgh.

    He grabbed his knee immediately after being tackled, but is able to walk off as Jaco van der Walt replaces him.

    Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

    Edinburgh's defence has been really good, but that's a soft try. The problem was half the maul was battling away, and Casey just picked up the ball - there's no guard, no shield.

    The maul gives Munster momentum once more, and Craig Casey snipes over from close range.

    Another strong rolling maul marches Munster forward, and wins them another penalty.

    This one is kicked into the corner - they will maul again you feel...

    Munster are growing into this contest - their forwards are making their presence felt.

    Edinburgh 12-0 Munster

    Edinburgh are forced back after a great Munster scrum, and a rushed clearing kick goes no distance at all.

    Thankfully for Edinburgh, Simon Zebo knocks-on, and Edinburgh will have another chance to clear.

    Edinburgh 12-0 Munster

    Calvin Nash gathers Joey Carbery's kick-off and are looking to hit back immediately.

    The visitors make their way to within touching distance of the Edinburgh line, but some tenacious scramble defence forces a handling error, and the home side survive.
