They finished fifth.

They won 11 games, lost seven.

So, you know, you kind of...

put them alongside Connacht, where it's all positive kind of noise coming out of there in an immediate.

Munster won more games, they finished higher up the table.

So, well, I think you should, you know, Munster's standards should be higher and should be in the playoffs every time and should be competing.

And the unfortunate thing this season is there's too many bad results.

And by bad results, I mean like really poor performances and big scorelines against them.

very inconsistent at times but you know as I said there's still some really good players there and I think it's been tough on Clayton McMillan it's been a tough season it's been eye-opening for everyone and there needs to be a bit of a reset at the end of the season and you know from top to bottom it needs to be you know you need some positive information come out from Munster fans and try and

reinvigorate the team for next season and hopefully that will happen so yeah the statement was welcomed and I think there was an admittance there that there was mistakes made so yeah hopefully they can move forward and

the negativity piles up, you get a couple of good results and it turns everything around.

So there is enormous on the players on Saturday, putting on a monster jersey to try and make sure that they bring plenty of fights and hopefully that will give them a chance in a very difficult situation.

But the bigger picture, I think, is about trying to regroup and reset for next season and hopefully there'll be lessons learned from all of this period

Yeah, it's a lot of power.

I think Klein, Yeager, big losses besides

I think the three of them would have started.

I think Lee Barn is out as well.

So there's a number of options there and bench options and depth that you can get off the bench.

So it's a shame really because I think if they had everybody fit and available, it doesn't always happen, but sometimes you need a bit of luck to have your best players or most of them available.

Munster have
