But the fact that the players didn't know, the coaches didn't know, we didn't know, just shows how much of a bizarre decision it was.

Now, look, Munster, you know...

They still conceded a hat full of points.

Their discipline was shocking.

I was having a look back over at Joe.

The four yellow cards that they've had in their three Champions Cup pool defeats cost them 52 points while they were down to 14 men.

That's back to Toig Byrne's yellow card against Bath.

They scored 21 unanswered points.

When Toig Byrne was in the bin in Toulon, they cost him 14 points.

And then Alex Nankerville was in the bin, cost another 3, 17.

And then last week, Tom Farrell's crazy yellow card cost him 14 and cost him the game.

Macmillan spoke of that being their line in the sand moment and they played so good that day.

Their game plan was on point.

You look at Jack Crowley, the confidence he was playing with.

And I put it to him...

McMillan after the game at the weekend that, you know, they've gone backwards since then.
