Edinburgh head coach Mike Blair believes his side panicked in their match against Munster and failed to put the game to bed as a result.
Blair’s men started well and led Munster 17-7 at a point on Friday in the United Rugby Championship clash on home soil.
However, Edinburgh’s second-half performance left a lot to be desired as the visitors dominated to claim a 38-17 triumph.
The coach insists that against the Irish opposition in the competition, games need to be played at a higher intensity as Edinburgh did in the first half but a lack of composure allowed Munster in to steal the game.
“I believe these games against the Irish opposition in particular must be played at Test match intensity,” said Blair.
“That’s why I was so pleased with the first half because we blew them away in the first half.
“But it was in complete contrast to the second half because we looked panicky on the ball and lacked all composure.
“There were a couple of bits where we mentally weren’t in it and it was really frustrating. The way Munster came out in the second half, we gave them everything they wanted. We were ponderous on the ball in attack, they won the contact, the physicality and they thoroughly deserved their win.
“The positive is that we showed in the first half we can do it but the negative is the second half, which was a completely different story.”

Blair looked ahead to his team’s Champions Cup clash next weekend against Premiership leader Saracens, who are yet to lose a game in England this year.
“Saracens are nine from nine, they’ve got lots of quality internationals and top-level club players so we’ve got to be on it,” he said.
“We’ve certainly got to be a lot better than we were against Munster.”
The loss to Munster leaves Edinburgh fifth on the United Rugby Championship table, with half the regular season completed by the Scottish side.
Michael Cheika is unconcerned over the clash which will see his Argentina side play on the same weekend as Lebanon in the Rugby League World Cup.
The former Wallabies boss took on the Lebanon role ahead of the 13-man game’s global tournament and has impressively guided them into the knockout stages.
The Cedars finished in second place in their pool following victories over Ireland and Jamaica to reach the quarter-finals, where they will coincidently face Australia.
There was always the prospect of a clash, with Los Pumas set to begin their Autumn Nations Series campaign in November.
There is just two days between the matches as Lebanon take on Australia in the last-eight on Friday, November 4 in Huddersfield before Argentina face England on Sunday, November 6 in London.
“We’ve just got to work out how we get it done and make sure we try to do both things really well, and I’m sure we’ll find a way,” Cheika told reporters.
“We’ve been hoping for this week for a while and now it’s here, I’ve got to make sure I get across it and make sure I do justice to both teams.”
Argentina are already in England preparing for their opening clash, with Cheika being able to visit the Pumas camp on a couple of occasions.
Lebanon is currently taking priority due to the importance of the competition, but the 55-year-old is also looking to help the South Americans where possible in the lead up to Sunday’s international at Twickenham.
“It’s probably going to be one day here, one day there. Everything has to be nailed down here first because we’re in a World Cup and it’s extremely important,” Cheika added.
“We’ve done a lot of preparation work with the coaches from Argentina. They were here from Sunday through Wednesday with the team last week.
“We had permission to have a camp and I was able to spend a couple of days with them because we had days off.”

Belgian winger Yannick Ferreira Carrasco will not be prevented by Atletico Madrid from leaving this month if a substantial offer is made, according to RMC.
The former Monaco man has not been receiving regular playing time in Madrid this season, and with this being a World Cup year, Ferreira Carrasco wants to give himself the best chance of forcing his way into Roberto Martinez’s plans for this summer.
Atleti are willing to consider a straight transfer or a loan with obligatory option to buy.
AS Roma are rumoured to be interested in the player, but have yet to make an offer, contrary to other reporting.

Munster and Springbok second-row RG Snyman’s injury nightmare is close to its conclusion after the Irish province revealed a date for the 2019 Rugby World Cup winner’s return to action.
Snyman has sustained numerous injuries since joining Munster in 2020 and spent the vast majority of his time at the Irish province on the sidelines.
However, there was some positive news on Monday from Munster regarding the 28-year-old’s fitness when they released a squad update on their official website which said: “RG Snyman is increasing his training load with a view to making his return in March.”
That news will be music to the ears of Munster supporters as the Bok has only played in four matches since he made his competitive debut for the United Rugby Championship (URC) outfit against Leinster in August of 2020.

He initially ruptured the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his knee seven minutes into that encounter and was sidelined for more than a year – after also suffering from burn wounds sustained during a fire-pit accident involving Munster team-mates Damian de Allende and CJ Stander.
Snyman returned to action off Munster’s replacements bench in a URC clash against the Stormers at Thomond Park at the start of October 2021.
However, things went pear-shaped the following week when Munster travelled to Llanelli to face the Scarlets as Snyman re-ruptured the same ligaments just nine minutes after coming on as a replacement.
He has been sidelined since then but, despite his injury woes, Snyman signed a new two-year deal in January 2022 that will see him remain with Munster until at least June 2024.
The latest update will be shot in the arm for Snyman, as it is the first time that Munster have provided a time frame for his comeback from injury.

Russian giants Spartak Moscow are in advanced negotiations to sign attacking midfielder Sofiane Hanni from Anderlecht, in a potential dedal that might suggest they are going to allow Quincy Promes to move to Southampton, according to France Football.
Hanni has received a concrete offer from Spartak, but the Russian side has yet to make a formal bid to Anderlecht for the Algerian international’s services.
Any initial bid is expected to be worth €10m.

Ireland wing Andrew Conway admits it was a “bizarre feeling” watching his country face up against New Zealand in July after being ruled out with injury before the tour.
Although the Munster man was disappointed not to travel with Ireland, he was impressed with how well the team performed as they secured a series win in New Zealand, becoming the first northern hemisphere side to achieve the feat.
Conway felt that he was still part of the team all the way from Ireland but revealed it was difficult to watch at times. However, the 31-year-old said the squad always had the confidence to go and challenge the All Blacks in their backyard.
“Yeah, it is, of course it is, it’s not the most pleasant viewing in the world at times, you’re just conflicted, it’s a bizarre feeling,” Conway said.
“It’s one of the worst parts about professional sports, particularly because it’s a team game. But in saying that I think I’ve matured a lot over the last number of years where you kind of realise it doesn’t mean that lads … I know you’re not physically there but you’re massively part of the team and there is a feeling of that as well, and you throw in a little baby as well, you do see life a bit different.
“It was unbelievable to see and I remember chatting to Tadhg Beirne after the first Test and I was kind of taken aback by how confident they were.

“I watched the first Test and New Zealand were good but they got a few gimme tries that they tend to do anyway, but I was just a bit taken aback by Tadhg saying how confident the group was.
“It was just a bit more unusual than I was expecting, and then they went out and they were spot on, the messages Faz [Andy Farrell] was giving them, by all accounts, was spot on, ‘this is here to be won’.
“And you obviously throw in the first loss, the Maori one, and it was a special, special few weeks to be involved, to be an Irish rugby fan and an Irish rugby player, to go down there and do that.
“Obviously New Zealand aren’t going that great at the moment but it’s still no joke to go down there and do that.
“Beat them once, fair enough, beat them the second time is the really tough task and they did that pretty well.”
Munster has undergone a coaching revamp after the departure of Johann van Graan saw the arrival of Graham Rowntree as the new head coach. Conway says the Englishman has a straightforward and “authentic” approach to coaching.
“You get what you see with him, I think, he’s not going to bluff you, he’s not going to butter you up, he’s not going to tell you something to make you feel better,” he added.
“He’ll tell you how it is in a way that is authentic to him and those northern English old school rugby boys have a very good way of doing it, similar to Faz, where they can balance the toughness and the fun and get it across to you right.”
