    Munster:
    Shane Daly; Calvin Nash, Sammy Arnold, Dan Goggin, Alex Wootton; Ben Healy, Nick McCarthy;
    Liam O’Connor, Rhys Marshall, Stephen Archer; Fineen Wycherley, Darren O’Shea; Jack O’Donoghue (C) Tommy O’Donnell, Arno Botha.

    Replacements: Kevin O’Byrne, James Cronin, Keynan Knox, Jed Holloway, Conor Oliver, Neil Cronin, JJ Hanrahan, Rory Scannell.

    All eyes on Ben Healy as he makes his first start for Munster at flyhalf. The bench is a little bit stronger than I expected with James Cronin, JJ Hanrahan and Rory Scannell included.

    Stephen Archer makes his 200th Munster appearance.

    That Edinburgh team is very strong. Tough game in store for that Munster lineup.

    Looking forward to seeing how Shane Daly goes at fullback. Nash has a big task up against Duhan van der Merwe. Delighted for Healy.

    Edinburgh coming to win this game.

    Happy to see us rest a few guys though, hopefully, they'll pull a win out of it.

    Marius Mitrea is the ref

    Really like the look of the Munster lineup and what a test for Healy at 10. Basically coming up against a full strength Edinburgh team.

    Massive test of this group of players but a positive result would give a massive boost to the whole group going into the Saracens games

    I'm guessing McCarthy is now the second choice SH.

    I think Rhys Marshall could flourish in the more expansive style we seem to be playing this season

    Delighted to see Nash and Daly. They could become really good players. Daly was great for the u20's. Surprised that Sean O Connor hasn't had a look in? Is he injured?

    Daly has put in some very good performances at FB and wing so far this season, but his preferred position seems to be centre? Could be a really useful option for the 23 jersey in the higher profile games down the line.

    Healy's job is hard enough as it is without having passes thrown at his ankles by McCarthy...

    Silly score to give away off a routine exit.

    Back three looking dodgy on those kicks. That was a decent kick from Healy yet we still end up on the back foot as a result

    Acres for any decent kicker to aim at in the Munster back field. If Munster are going to win this, they're going to have to score a few tries as I can see them giving up a couple here.

    Should be a penalty try. Due care and all that. If player hit head on post it would be very dangerous.

    They have illegally moved part of the try line preventing Munsters ability to score against it. It is a case for a penalty try.

    It would be like giving a penalty try for offside. It makes it harder to score a try but in no way does it suggest a try was probable which is the criteria required for a penalty try.

    Should have been a yellow card for Edinburgh killing that attack.

    Harder??? It makes it impossible to score against the post. It was done deliberately to prevent them scoring. It was also endangering players.

    It's dangerous. They still have 40-50m of line to dot down on. It does not mean a try was probable in any way.

    Good score considering a disaster of an opening.

    Seem to struggle with them kicking to our back three.

    Healys first two involvements were to pick the ball up from his feet behind his goal line and to throw a pass out of touch

    Sloppy penalty given away by Liam O'Connor and a few lineouts have gone astray.

    Much improved 2nd quarter to the game though

    I suspect that whoever lifted the protector may have a trip to London in his immediate future.

    They did it twice. Should have been at least yellow and ref would be in his right to award penalty try. Penalty try can be given for persistent infringement.

    you wouldnt be able to give a penalty try but could yellow card player who did it.

    No it can't.

    There must be a clear try scoring opportunity that's spoiled by an illegal act

    They were on Edinburgh’s line and they eventually scored.

    That’s not held up, should that not be a penalty now for holding on?
