Latest Video & Pics: Munster V Edinburgh

See the video highlights and actions shots of Muster’s bonus point win over Edinburgh, and get post-match reaction from Head Coach Anthony Foley and try scorer Simon Zebo.

With tries from Duncan Casey, CJ Stander, Conor Murray, Simon Zebo and Keith Earls – who scored his fourth try in as many games – the bonus point win saw Munster moved up to second on the league table, ahead of Ulster on point’s difference.

Foley spoke with media following the game, “It was important for us today with Ulster, Glasgow and Ospreys all getting five points. Getting the extra point was not something we had planned. But we’ll take it and I think our second-half performance deserved it.

“We want to maintain top form. I know people talk about a home semi-final. But at the moment, we just want to make sure we’re in the top four.”

“Luckily or unluckily we haven’t had European rugby to worry about over the past month so it’s given us extra time to prepare for these league games.

“We’ve put a focus on keeping our defence as strong as we can.”

A kick-ahead from Felix Jones on 62 minutes saw Simon Zebo set off in hot pursuit to score Munster’s bonus point try. Following a deliberation with TMO Iain Ramage, referee Ian Davies adjudged Zebo to have applied downward pressure on the ball, getting a fingertip to it as he dived at full stretch. Afterwards, the Cork-man reiterated that it was the correct decision.

“Felix kicked ahead and I was able to get a toe to it before their full-back and then got ahead to touch it down just about. It might have been my last two fingers that got to it but I did make it. When they ref asked me I told him to check upstairs as I was confident that I had scored and thankfully the TMO agreed.”

The try saw Zebo become Munster’s leading try scorer in league history, overtaking Doug Howlett’s previous record of 22 tries.

“Delighted and honoured to have passed a true Munster legend in Dougie. Hopefully there are many more to come – I’ll try to double it!”

Munster's next competitive Guinness PRO12 action is at home to Benetton Treviso at Irish Independent Park, Cork in a fortnight's time (Saturday April 25th KO 3.05pm). Be there to show your support as Munster look to cement their play-off position.
