Click here for photos from Munster’s top-of-the-table Celtic League clash with Edinburgh last Saturday, which they won by a whisker.
Pictured above: Irish international Paul O’Connell beats Ally Hogg to a lineout at Murrayfield. O’Connell, who was making just his second appearance for Munster since sustaining a hand injury in September, has fond memories of the home of Scottish rugby – he captained Ireland to victory against Scotland, in the absence of the injured Brian O’Driscoll, at Murrayfield last year, scoring a try in the process.
Edinburgh full-back Hugo Southwell tries to fend off Munster’s Barry Murphy. The win for Munster, their eighth of the league campaign, keeps them ahead of the Gunners, but a losing bonus point for the Scots has seen the province’s lead cut to four points.
Edinburgh try scorer Scott Murray tries to cut through a gap between Trevor Halstead (left) and Stephen Keogh (right).
