Overview

  • Edinburgh finished with four yellow cards — to Glen Young, D’arcy Rae, Freddy Douglas and captain Magnus Bradbury — which repeatedly left them short-handed.
  • Wycherley’s 73rd-minute score put Munster in front, and a potential Gavin Coombes clincher was ruled out on review for a knock-on.
  • Michael Milne powered over for two tries and Andrew Smith struck inside two minutes, while Darcy Graham finished a James Lang cross-kick as the visitors moved 19-10 ahead.
  • Munster missed all four conversion attempts but moved to 3-0 under new head coach Clayton McMillan after making 10 changes to their starting XV.
  • Referee Ben Whitehouse’s decisions on high tackle and croc-roll infringements proved pivotal, and Edinburgh departed Cork with a losing bonus point after leading most of the match.
