IT was a case of the end justifying the means once again as Munster dug deep to earn another hard fought late win against a top conference rival.
This time it was Edinburgh that fell victim to the Ben Healy late show. The Nenagh Ormond player landed a late conversion on top six penalties to seal the win and put Munster on two wins from two.
Following an earlier miss – his first of the evening – Healy composed himself to slot the conversion of CJ Stander’s try.
Great win, @Munsterrugby! #SUAF #ShoulderToShoulder

It took 78 minutes for Munster to finally cross but in truth their performance over the 80 minutes probably just did enough to warrant the win.
The visitors enjoyed a strong first half with Mark Bennett and WP Nel both crossing but they couldn’t prevent a fifth successive defeat in all competitions.

Munster’s sole try scorer, CJ Stander credited their resilience in his post match interview.
