Now James Lowe is gone.

You know, Gibson Park probably won't get to the next one.

So there's eight or nine players there who because of age may not,

stay on and even it's a small thing but like you know the training sessions against the under 20s that they do during the Six Nations I know that Farrell loves that not just because he has an opposition to run but he's looking to see who has the character the personality that he can keep an eye on and fast track to come into the Irish squad he is a very good selector and he spots talent that he likes in terms of what they can do on the field but also that personality so there may be there may be there's

seven or eight, the next Ring Roses and Furlongs and McCluskeys are out there.

We just, maybe they're not being, they're not getting, they're not exposed, they're not, the environment they're in at the moment is,

I don't know much about him as an attack coach.

I know he was doing Scarlett's attack, I think, the start of the year, but I think Dwayne, they reorganized then.

I think Dwayne got back a little bit more hands-on.

But I know from players who played with him in Ulster in Ireland and then obviously was coached by him in Ulster, he's a good operator.

Very, very impressive communicator, messaging.

And I think, you know, obviously he'd already made a good impression for himself in Ulster.

and his experiences in the top 14 and even in the URC with Scarless where it's a pretty turbulent environment Welsh rugby so it wouldn't be easy I wouldn't be judging him on that they wouldn't have the squad depth that the Irish province would have even though we obviously think Munster need to get a few players in the door but I think he's a good guess I think he understands Irish rugby he understands the Irish mindset

And he's had that experience now of being in the Northern Hemisphere.

I think there's always a challenge when you get someone from the Southern Hemisphere for them to adapt to the Northern Hemisphere style of play.

The vast majority of his career was in the Northern Hemisphere.

I know he started off in New Zealand, but I think he's a really good guy.

given how late it is in the day, given what happened beforehand, really strong personality, I think, as well.

He'll impress the players with his quality as a coach.

And then Jimmy Duffy, you know, I played with Jimmy in Connacht.
