vBookie Munster - Edinburgh

vBookie for the second match of the day played in Ireland and the culminating match of this round... Munster or Edinburgh?

Subs: Kelly, Hislop, Niven, Lozada, Grant, Laidlaw, Leonard, Hunter

So Sepp is making his debut, unfortunately in a very much second string side.

So in the 23, there are 4 stand-offs and 3 fullbacks, why? Why not start with Leonard or Hunter? Godman being given one last chance?

Very curious to see how Sepp does. Played against him a year ago and it's fun to see someone getting to the top of European rugby so fast. Lets hope he is going to be as good as Tim

Bonus point win for Munster 34 - 17.

Good performance from the team generally. I'm sure MM will have his review before long.

Bloody hell that ref was dire, summing up point for me was when he awarded Edinburgh a penalty after he called advantage over.

And far is the logic in sending off a second prop when the team was struggling by the line? Penalty try sufficient but don't bloody put teams in a situation where down the field they could opt for a seven man scrum as opposed eight.
On that regard, Munster scrummed really well on a night when the Embra props were especially poor.

e\ah, thought that was a bit harsh alright.

Zebo looks like he could end up in contention for some HEC action, and it's good to see Hurley back at fullback. He spent all night talking to Zebo and O'Dea helping them through the game.
