That's all from us this evening! Thank you for joining our coverage of this action packed clash!

Munster go top of the league now with that all important bonus point win but it is still all to play for with the rest of the games to be played tomorrow.

Edinburgh have a point to prove when they go to Benetton in two weeks time.

We will be back tomorrow with more URC coverage for you! Hope to see you then, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Munster head coach Graham Rowntree gave his thoughts on the game at full time:

"It was a tough game, it was all being thrown at us in that game. We had a bright start but we couldn't get over the line and we gave away some stupid penalties. Edinburgh came back into the game in the second half but we kept going.

"We found a way to win and a way to stick to our guns. Managing the sin bin period was crucial. We did that well and held them up as best as we could.

"I'm dead proud of the lads because we found a way to win in a game that at some points it seemed as if everything was going against us. It gives you belief that you can go away from home and win. You've got to keep building, we did it last year."

Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt spoke to Premier Sports:

"Quite a frustrating second half in some ways. I can't fault the effort of the boys though, they fought until the end and unfortunately we didn't have more points to take away from that.

"Just before half time we had the opportunity to score if we just moved the ball. You can't be too critical in pressure games like this. The team's growing and we will continue to do so. We've got another shot against Benetton in two weeks time, another pressure cooker which we're used to now.

"We asked the boys for an 80 minute performance and they gave us an 80 minute performance, I can't fault them."

Co-captain Grant Gilchrist spoke to Premier Sports after the full time whistle:

"It's really hard to speak about because obviously we're devastated. Tonight was huge for our season, our fas were huge tonight. We can't fault the effort because the boys were huge for us tonight.

"Guys that have given their hearts and souls for this club, we knew it was massive for our season as well. We had a huge opportunity and now it's still in our hands and we need to go and do it on the road against Benetton."

Edinburgh showed some real resilience against this Munster side. With a home support like this, they could maybe go on to achieve a little bit more.

They've got a lot of wins this season and when they do turn it on they're incredible to watch. i think tonight, I was a little bit disappointed to see them not get their width a little more. They can build on this performance even though it was a loss.

Player of the Match Jack Crowley spoke to Premier Sports at full time:

"Firstly we were relieved we could get the win for big Jack O'Donoghue. 200 caps for the province, he's an unbelievable player and team-mate. He deserves every bit of tonight.

"Obviously it was tough, it's only the second time Edinburgh have been defeated here which is a credit to them. It was a serious shift tonight from the boys, just relieved to get the win.

"I'm glad to have gone over but it is the guys up front who build us that platform by working hard all day. We know with a home quarter final, it's massive for us to be able to play in front of our fans. We haven't been able to do that in the last few years. They deserve that, we want to be able to give them that."

Finishing eighth now for Edinburgh is huge. Having so many teams battling it out for top eight is great for the league. The top four looks relatively settled now but a couple of results can have a huge impact on what's going to happen.

You can see the emotion throughout the game. I think it was a fantastic evening packed out for the leavers. They'll be gutted not to be able to bow out of The Hive with a win.

Edinburgh go to Benetton in a reasonably strong position knowing that other results can help them and it's down to the last week of the season to find out.

The ball goes loose and now it's mission get up the other end of the pitch!

Duhan van der Merwe can't quite gather Ben Healy's cross field kick and the ball bounces backwards and out.

From under their own posts, Edinburgh give the ball almost directly to Tadhg Beirne and Craig Casey boots the ball into the stands and that will be that.

Only one point for Sean Everitt's men means their next game against Benetton is a must win to secure the play-offs.

Munster with a kick to the corner with two minutes on the clock sees Edinburgh pinned on their own try line.

The maul gets rolling but they can't quite get it over. Can Edinburgh hold them off?

The hosts want to take this lead back but their line-out on the five metre mark has faltered and Munster push them back into their own half.

Only seven minutes left in the game - it's no wonder Ben Healy opted for the corner instead of the points but at this pivotal point, Dave Cherry misses his mark.

Edinburgh are pinged for not rolling away and Jack Crowley calls for the tee.

Smart choice as the fly-half gives his side the lead once again.

Edinburgh go quickly off the back of the scrum and it looks as if Boan Venter gets over the line but is the ball held up?

Referee Gianluca Gnecchi is having a chat with TMO Stuart Terheege.

Could this be a repeat of Scotland v France in the Six Nations?

Mark Bennett is having a stormer! The centre spots the tiniest of gaps and bolts through but is brought down just short of the line.

Referee Gianluca Gnecchi is having a look at a possible knock on and foul play by Conor Murray.

It's deemed a yellow card offence so the scrum-half will spend 10 minutes in the bin.

Lovely moment as WP Nel departs the field to a rapturous reception in what could be his final home match in Edinburgh colours.

As we hit the hour mark it feels like crunch time in this match. A score for Edinburgh and it's game on. One for Munster and you sense it would take the game away from the home side.

Great atmosphere here. The crowd have not given up on this one.

Javan Sebastian with the handling error and suddenly Edinburgh have gone back down towards halfway.

This hasn't deterred them as once again they push back and press up into Munster's 22.

Edinburgh have come alive here as Duhan van der Merwe creates a whole lot of space for his side and they push Munster back into their own half.

The ball is briefly turned over but Mark Bennett is on hand to steal it back. An offside from Munster sees Edinburgh with another penalty.

Ben Healy opts to kick to the corner rather than the posts, clearly hunting down their first try of the second half.

We've got a bit of brawl in Edinburgh as Munster's RG Snymen plants himself on top of former team-mate Ben Healy and the Edinburgh boys are quick to go in and try and help their fly-half.

Only a penalty against Edinburgh as Viliame Mata is deemed to have escalated the situation by referee Gianluca Gnecchi.
