Munster frustrated by Murrayfield by deserving Edinburgh
Yet for much of the game Munster, who had made six changes for the visit to the Scottish capital, were the stronger side in the forward exchanges and it looked as though their tight game plan and the boot of JJ Hanrahan would produce victory.
Indeed Munster’s plays off the lineout, their driving mauls and their one-pass rugby had Edinburgh on the back foot for much of the game, only for the visitors to be thwarted by two moments of genuine adventure that produced two winning tries, both scored by man-of-the-match Duhann van der Merwe.
