Munster Edge Edinburgh 20-19 to Stay Unbeaten in URC

Four yellow cards for the visitors proved decisive in a bruising test of Munster's early-season consistency.

Overview

  • Edinburgh finished with four sin bins, including captain Magnus Bradbury for a croc-roll, which repeatedly left them undermanned.
  • Centre Tom Farrell drove Munster's attack with incisive breaks that set up Michael Milne's brace and the late momentum swing.
  • Loosehead Michael Milne scored twice, with Andrew Smith and Fineen Wycherley also touching down as Munster overcame a 19-10 deficit.
  • Munster missed all four conversion attempts and made ten changes from the Cardiff win, contributing to a disjointed performance against Edinburgh's line speed.
  • A potential late Gavin Coombes try was ruled out on review before Munster secured a final turnover to close out the one-point victory in Cork.
