Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

Absolutely.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

And they nearly nilled Munster at the weekend.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

Munster got a consolation try pretty late on.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

So that's how good their defence is.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

So Lancaster does both sides of the ball.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

Yeah, he's very unique in that regard.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

That's like reading between the lines.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

They've actually just announced this morning a new backs coach.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

Gerard Mullen is coming in from Harlequins.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

Because if you think back to this time last year, they'd signed Rob Seab from Australia.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

But that was before Stuart Lancaster was appointed head coach.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

So Rob Seab is going to Leicester Tigers is my understanding.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

But that wasn't the gig that he signed up for when

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

The head coach is coming in to coach the attack as well.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

Lancaster would be pretty unique in that regard, that he coaches both sides of the ball.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

That's not to say Rob Seab has done a good job with the Connacht attack this season, because he absolutely has.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

But Lancaster has put more of a focus on the defence.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

But the fact that Connacht haven't lost, what I would say is their identity.

Indo Sport
Prendergast's tackling | Connacht's revival | Ireland's Aviva finale | The Rugby Show

They've been playing thrilling rugby, go back to when Nigel Carroll, who's with Glasgow now,

Indo Sport

Go back to like that long ago under Andy Friend.
