Edinburgh 9 - 17 Munster 42 mins gone.

Good game. Munster backs look very sharp, in particular Earls who's having an excellent games. A bit rusty here and there with the new rules, but Munster controlling the game and look to mean business already this season.

Patchy performance by Munster, showed flashes of brilliance in the 2 tries. O Gara was poor from the placed ball, alot of messing in the lineouts these ELVs are going to take a few months!!
Earls continues to improve.

Munster, much like Cardiff, let their opponents stay in a game they should have had well won. Edinburgh should never have been within striking distance with 10 to go, and Munster could have been punished.

I went to see Step brothers in the cinema with the wife so I didnt see any more than brief highlights of the 1st half, got back in time for the 2nd half which was a dour disjointed error strewn affair from both sides.....the weather was appalling but. Not many sides will win in Edinburgh so I'll take it, but it was hard to learn much about either side from the half I saw,
