Munster fail to fire again

Munster 13 Edinburgh 14

Just as the Rob Penney regime had fizzled out with home league defeats last spring to Glasgow and Ulster, Munster’s brave new world with an indigenous coaching staff began with a whimper rather than a bang as Edinburgh scored their first victory on Irish soil since December 2012 to end a week blighted by the fallout from reports of a leaked internal email.

Despite having been outscored two to one in tries, it was Tom Heathcote’s boot which proved more accurate than Ian Keatley’s to secure the Scots their win.
