stretches them, it makes them just that bit.
It takes away a little bit of power, that obviously is a big issue when you play a South African team.
It's going to be 22, 23 degrees, perfect sunshine in Pretoria on Saturday and conditions are obviously going to be very
bring a physicality and try and bring a pace and a tempo to their game if they want to have a chance of competing.
I think if you go back to the game in March, Munster scored five tries.
They created lots of opportunities and I think the frustrating thing on the day was that a couple of defensive lapses cost them, I think, the two Embrace Papier tries were preventable.
I
utility back that came on he stepped in between Nankerville and Dan Kelly and you know made a break for another try so I think the kind of feeling after that game was yes get two points in Pretoria particularly after the previous week when the Sharks beat them 45-0 it was a vast improvement and they probably left the game behind them really but the fear obviously is you know that score
Steeney Camp and Vilko Law.
Irish fans will remember them.
Rossi Rasmussen was bringing them on before halftime in that test against Ireland last November.
They're devastating scrummagers.
Once you're suddenly just going to create...
a like-for-like size or technical ability to scrum brilliantly against him.
But I think as an ace, I think the only thing you can focus on is eight forwards, making sure that everybody's really switched on.
The back rows are scrummaging, the second rows are in good, strong positions, and you try and get some sort of parity there.
Sometimes there's just nothing you can do.
So if Munster can get, and they did that day, by and large, I think there was only one scrum that kind of
disintegrated on him but it'll take a huge effort from Michael Alatoa Jeremy Lachman we presume they will start and whatever guys come off the bench as well to try and you know get some sort of parity at scrum time I think Munster's line-up has been pretty decent in recent times so yeah it's a tough one and the Bulls are on the back of six URC
EPCR game to Glasgow in Glasgow.
