bring a physicality and try and bring a pace and a tempo to their game if they want to have a chance of competing.

OTB Rugby

I think if you go back to the game in March, Munster scored five tries.

OTB Rugby
The Red 78 Unlocked | Munster prepare to run with the Bulls | Ep. 158

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

a like-for-like size or technical ability to scrum brilliantly against him.

OTB Rugby

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.

Sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

OTB Rugby

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
