But it's definitely coincide with a new ground equals new connoisseurs, but definitely has happened.

They've definitely moved away from what they were doing 12 months ago when the attack coach seemed to have free reign into how they were going to attack and what they were going to do.

They've definitely become a more heavier collision-based team.

So I know Prendergast is very much a ball-in-hand team.

He wants to play something similar to what Stewart is doing.

You know, this ability to go round teams as opposed to through them.

And I think that has flipped slightly for them.

Look, this challenge Munster have at the weekend, as much as pundits will always go with, you know, you can never not back Munster when it's backs against the wall stuff.

This might be a bridge too far.

This is as tough an assignment as you can get when you've got a low number of internationals and two of them aren't traveling.

You know, it's going to be really, really tough on you.

They might circle the wagons for a while, but to go 80 minutes altitude, like there's a lot of things against them.

I know they only arrived on Wednesday.

Had they scored there, I thought it was going to be just a complete and utter formality, but...

you know they they're definitely making things hard for themselves um and you could talk about all the different factors within that but i think the the positive spin on that is like they're not playing their best rugby they're um they're they're getting through anyway like and they're getting gritty wins and there's a lot of resilience that comes with that and and maybe they're going into the final with less expectation and people having to cut off them and and obviously leo's you know producing his narrative that the world is against them and you know for the last couple years they were

cruising at the finals and all the way on their shoulders and maybe you know they're um ironically this is probably their year isn't it but as you said there's so much good stuff within there um they're attacking rugby like they they clearly look for porter to get on the ball as well because i'd say i'd say he turned up in a couple of moments in the 22 but there was also a peel off a line out where he came from the front of the line out normally you'd see
