Munster’s ability to adapt to fast-changing circumstances in the wake of a positive test for Covid-19 came in for praise from Johann van Graan following the Guinness PR014 victory over Conference B rivals Edinburgh on Saturday night.

For the second game in a row in this new 2020-21 PRO14 campaign, a late Ben Healy kick at goal made all the difference for Munster as the rookie fly-half converted a 76th-minute CJ Stander try at a near-empty Thomond Park to come from behind and notch a 25-23 victory.
