With another break week in the Six Nations here, the United Rugby Championship returns. Munster, after a fiery second half against Scarlets in their last game, are looking for their third win in a row as they invite Edinburgh to Virgin Media Park. This is everything you need to know about Munster v Edinburgh.
Munster came out a different side against Edinburgh in the second half of their last match, and were seemingly unfazed by their missing stars on international duty for the Six Nations. With two tries from Gavin Coombes, Munster were able to secure five in total and a bonus point to boot as the match ended 29-8.
Flanker Alex Kendellen, who contributed with a try of his own, summed up what the team mentality was.
It was just putting a focus on that first fifteen minutes in the second half, and coming out of the sheds firing, and I think we did that to a good degree.
Edinburgh were unfortunate in their last game against a Zebre team that went down to 13 men near the closing moments. It was back and forth but the Italian side held on as the game ended 22-17.
Edinburgh are looking for a boost as they waver at 9th place in the table with a win or loss in Cork possibly catapulting them up the table, or sinking them down further.
