They were quite unlucky.
They were beaten 25-21 in that game in the quarter-final.
But in recent weeks, they've been
you know, scoring pretty freely.
They're two probably easier games to finish with against, against Ebre, you know, 54-19 and against Benetton, 45-19.
So, two comfortable last, two comfortable wins with them at home.
The scarlet's causing problems in the game previously in Wales.
So, look, there's a vulnerability about them if you can hold on to the ball and you can build phases and get your primary possession.
And Munster did a lot of that really good.
I think JJ Hanlon played really well against the Lions the last day and I was very pleased for him.
But Jack Crowley was...
You know, in that Benetton game, Casey Crowley coming back in, the Ulster game, at times, yeah, they produced a bit of magic, and particularly that Bulls game.
But Ty Brown is a huge loss as well.
His ability to steal the ball and make carries and defend and get around the field is really significant.

Sometimes I don't like the term free hit and you're in bonus territory and it's no disrespect to anyone that says it because it's quite a common term that's used.
Sometimes it can work very good in your favour that there's less pressure and you're not expected to win and you actually the opposition then they're a little bit static and a little bit off and if you cause them some problems they start panicking forcing things so it can work for you but
It should never create a mentality that this doesn't matter.
If we're beaten, we're not expected to win.
