    Try Edinburgh 12-0 Munsterpublished at 16 mins

    Darcy Graham

    He cannot stop scoring!

    Joey Carbery just about slips out of a tackle, but then throws a horrible pass straight into the arms of Darcy Graham.

    The wee man turns on a sixpence and races away to score his umpteenth try of this season.

    Is there a better finisher in the world at the moment? I'm not sure there is.

    Blair Kinghorn's conversion from the touchline bounces clear off the post.

    Edinburgh 7-0 Munster

    John Ryan, on his 200th appearance for Munster, gets over the ball at the breakdown, and wins his team a penalty.

    It provides them with some much needed territory.

    It looked like it was worth a gamble, there was a hole, but now that attacking platform has gone. It's been all Edinburgh - a really strong start.

    Edinburgh 7-0 Munster

    Edinburgh continue to probe, with Chris Dean orchestrating nicely in midfield.

    Some strong carries take Edinburgh to within 5m of the Munster line, but Ben Vellacott is bundled into touch as he dives for the corner.

    Edinburgh 7-0 Munster

    Munster's first spell of possession ends with Tadhg Beirne knocking on.

    Edinburgh have looked sharp and hungry in both attack and defence early on - they are bang up for this.

    A big nudge at the game's first scrum then wins the hosts a penalty, which Blair Kinghorn kicks towards the Munster 22.

    Chris Dean

    An electric start from Edinburgh!

    Luke Crosbie punches a hole through the Munster defence, and then finds Chris Dean on his left shoulder.

    The centre swerves round the last defender and pins his ears back to score under the posts.

    Blair Kinghorn adds the extras.

    After a minute's applause from tonight's capacity crowd, Blair Kinghorn gets us under way.

    This should be a cracker.

    I think Edinburgh will probably win it, but I think it will be very close. Munster's pack is outstanding - it could be a terrific game.

  9. 200 up for Ryanpublished at 19:30 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2022

    Edinburgh v Munster (19:35)

    For the visitors, John Ryan becomes the 13th player to reach 200 Munster appearances tonight - he starts in the front row.

    Graham Rowntree makes five changes to the side that beat Connacht last time out.

    Simon Zebo comes into the side on the wing, and there are four alterations in the forward as Jeremy Loughman, Niall Scannell and Ryan all come into the front row with Gavin Coombes starting at number eight.

    Pierre Schoeman, Grant Gilchrist, Jamie Ritchie, Bill Mata, Blair Kinghorn, Mark Bennett, Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham all return in a strong line-up.

    Last weekend was fairly raw, but as the week has gone on, it has just been smiles. You always smiled and laughed [with Doddie].

  13. A night to reflect and rememberpublished at 19:16 Greenwich Mean Time 2 December 2022

    Edinburgh v Munster (19:35)

    It's been an incredibly sad week in Scottish rugby. Legendary Scotland lock Doddie Weir died aged 52 on Saturday after a battle with motor neurone disease.

    In the build-up to tonight's game, Edinburgh head coach Mike Blair paid tribute to Weir.

    "Doddie was such a huge figure and the enormity of what he managed to achieve to raise both awareness and money in the fight against MND is immeasurable," Blair said.

    "The thoughts of all of us at Edinburgh Rugby go out to his family, friends and former team-mates.

    "As a squad, we've spoken a lot about Doddie this week and what he stood for. It's brilliant we're able to pay tribute to a real icon of Scottish rugby tomorrow night and it will be an emotional moment as we celebrate his life pre-match."
