Munster back on track and now for Castres

Edinburgh 17 Munster 18

Allowing for the disruption caused by Friday’s withdrawal of skipper Anthony Foley and Marcus Horan and the loss through injury during the game of Jerry Flannery, John Hayes and John Kelly, there was much to admire in the Munster performance, although they continue to frustrate after failing to finish off a succession of superb moves.

Attack after attack rained down on the hosts, yet Munster had only a single try to show for all their supremacy in that opening half hour.
