For the second week in a row, Munster was late to snatch victory in the Guinness Pro14, with Edinburgh falling victim this week at Thomond Park in a 25-23 loss.
Ben Healy’s last-minute penalty saw the 14-man Munster emerge victorious against Scarlets seven days ago, and the conversion in the middle of CJ Stander’s late attempt made it two wins out of two.

Healy continued his rich streak of form and also took six penalties in the narrow victory.
Two of them put Munster into an early 6-0 lead, but the visitors got ahead when Mark Bennett found a hole to land and Jaco van der Walt hit the conversion.
Healy edged Munster up front with another penalty, but WP Nel came in for Edinburgh’s second try of the night with Van der Walt once again nailing the conversion.
Another Healy penalty meant Munster was only trailing 14-12 at halftime, although Van der Walt landed a penalty of his own to push the visitors five points clear after 49 minutes.
Two penalties from Healy and one from Edinburgh’s Bennett put the Scots ahead 20-18 advancing into the final stages and when Van der Walt hit another penalty, the visiting team looked good for the points.
But Munster showed great patience to create the opportunity for Stander’s try with fit Healy keeping his cool for another late win with the conversion.
