Edinburgh to be within 6 points up until 5 minutes before half time. Munster will have someone yellow carded and we'll leak 14 points by the time they come back on.

Bill Lothian (local newspaper journo) Tweeted that he wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if Edinburgh somehow beat Munster – that is the way Scottish rugby works! Some of our biggest wins have come on the back of some of our darkest times.

Not that I think it will happen.

I think we’ll see the same kind of routine from Edinburgh – competitive for 60 minutes then Munster run away with it to win by +20 points.
TBH I’d be happy with us scoring a try. Actually, scoring points would be an improvement on last year!

We're just lulling Munster into a false sense of security taff - get pumped in the Rabbo and then unleash lots of secret weapons for the HK!

In terms of selection, based in his previous selections, which have been pretty consistent, the Edinburgh team is probably going to be:

1 Dickinson
2 Ford
3 Nel
4 Gilchrist
5 VDV
6 Basalaia
7 Grant
8 Denton
9 Laidlaw
10 Leonard
11 Visser
12 Scott
13 De Luca
14 Fife
15 Tonks

Subs - Blaauw, Lutui, Cross, Cox, Du Preez, Kennedy, Cuthbert, AN other

On paper not a bad team, but unfortunately rugby isn't a game played on paper!

In contemplation of this match, I am reminded of the Blackadder quote:
Our only hope is that the enemy kill so many of us that they become slightly depressed.
 
Who honestly knows, to be honest? Edinburgh battered their way to a HC semi- whilst finishing third bottom of the league that same year. This year, they are already scraping the arse of the league so by extrapolation, this year they should romp to the Heiney final. Simples.

I'm remembering that last year poor Bradley was getting it in the neck for the 'versatility'. Seems the present coach is lucky enough to have taken over a ship already holed under the waterline. He's just a victim and few would blame him if he did a Schettino on it.

But having said all that. Munster isn't the monster it once was, and I wouldn't be at all surprised by a surprise Wink

The Munster lineup should be interesting. I'd say Penney might stick with the same front row or at least give Archer one game out of the next 2 especially with the Ireland squad announcement due after the HEC matches.

Kilcoyne is under fierce pressure from James Cronin but they'll stick with Kilcoyne I'd say.

Dougal in for Ronan could be the only unforced change from the backrow.

Murray will come in for Williams and the rest of the backline will remain the same I think.

I’m wondering what kind of crowd we’ll get on Saturday. Given that we’ve had a rubbish start to the season and the game is on a Saturday afternoon – probably the least popular time with Edinburgh fans (club rugby games on, people doing other things) – I think 5k would probably be a decent turnout. Can’t see us getting much more unless there is a big Munster travelling support.

I’m meant to be playing rugby down in Jedburgh on Saturday afternoon but buggered my hand playing last weekend, so may be there after all!

Rob Penney pays tribute to Earls. Must say I agree. Without wanting to take a shot at anyone in particular I dont think Munster or Ireland have ever managed to get the best out of Earls.

Personally I feel he is Irelands most talented back in terms of attacking space. He also has a decent enough try scoring record. Really hope he has a big year and Penney's evolving attacking style helps rejuvinate Earls' game.

Where are Munster playing Earls these days?

I think he's a brilliant player but neither Munster or Ireland know where to play him - kind of like what happened with Chris Paterson and Scotland.

Has started on the wing against Leinster last weekend which would point to him playing there against Edinburgh. But has also started at OC this season so its possible he will play there as well. Unlikely as that would not be our strongest team.

Yeah crazy that nobody could figure out he's a top winger before this,while the first half of his career hasn't been wasted it has been underwhelming considering the talent the guy has.

Yeah that's one instance where people criticised him for not passing,most people didn't criticise him as a winger but as a rugby player who took a bad option and turned over the ball wasting a good attacking opportunity.

I know there is an element out there that doesn't rate him at all but I very much doubt there are many people who would criticise him by saying he isn't as good on the wing as he is at centre or fullback.

I agree that Earls seems to be a bit underrated/pilloried by other provincial fans. Averaging a try a every three games for your national side is really not a bad return. Not by Scottish standards anyway. picard

God forbid...I mean when BOD et al were doing the business for Ireland clearly the SH and OH they had weren't very good. Whats that Sin É you mean you didn't know that the OH from Munster (whose name is not mentionable) is not only the highest points scorer but the highest try scorer for an OH as well. You didn't know he was top try scorer or joint top in one Six nations?????

Well, I can't figure out why he gets so much criticism, particularly when he comes across as being a really nice guy who is very popular with his international team mates.

I think its because he is exceptionally talented and with a few tweaks should be a good bit better than Drico now. Sometimes though he frustrates. Im one of his biggest fans but was screaming at the TV for him to offload to Drico that time for a certain try. Its a bit like aidan McGeedy in football. Does everything really really well but smoetimes faulters when it comes to the end product.

I would have said a provocative comment. To call it ignorant is just well...ignorant. Its like saying Leinster cant produce decent forwards...which is clearly not true...although given they have made up the majority of the Irish pack since 2009/10 season there might be some truth to it.

That's a pretty ignorant comment really.
Its just the usual the world is against us Munsterisms, though more than likely tongue in cheek.
Well, I can't figure out why he gets so much criticism, particularly when he comes across as being a really nice guy who is very popular with his international team mates.

Updated with Munster team. POM ruled out possibly due to concussion...Paddy Butler to start...Murray instead of Williams only other change from last weeks team.
