Too close for home comfort
Munster’s quarter-final opponents could have been Glasgow, but when Edinburgh finally failed to pick up a bonus point they were left facing another trip to Limerick.
Munster will obviously start favourites, but if they make life as difficult for themselves again they’re asking for trouble. Munster gave Edinburgh a 13 points start in the opening nine minutes. That they recovered to finally outscore Edinburgh with five tries was a measure of their resilience and experience, but it was always too close for comfort.
