Preview | Edinburgh v Munster

Munster are back in action tonight as face in-form Edinburgh in a rearranged Guinness PRO14 clash at Murrayfield (7.35pm, live on TG4).

See the Munster team announcement here.

Edinburgh have navigated the 6 Nations period brilliantly and have won all three fixtures thus far – two of which were away from home.

Head Coach Richard Cockerill has instilled a real winning mentality in the Scottish side and they have started to build serious momentum with late wins over Glasgow, Stade Francais in the Challenge Cup, Leinster and Ulster proving their mettle.

Ahead of the clash, Head Coach Johann van Graan said: “We have two teams, still the same, coming up against each other. Edinburgh have been playing some incredible rugby; they haven’t lost at Murrayfield this year and won five out of the last six. They have been in good form, winning games in the dying moments.”

Billy Holland captains the side on his 150th PRO14 appearance and is eager to get points on the board and build momentum ahead of the most important stage of the season.

“At most we have 11 weeks left in the season and they will fly by,” said Holland. “I believe momentum and winning are a habit and building that starts for us against Edinburgh.”

“Winning is a habit, as Ireland have shown, and you need to build up a little momentum.”
