So that's another appointment they're going to have to make if Macmillan leaves.
You could be looking at another entirely new Munster coaching staff next season, albeit Dennis Leamy and Mossie Lawler are still there.
So it's just an absolute mess and it doesn't seem like it's finished here yet.
There might be a little bit more road to run.
OK.
And he is probably, Joe, a good example of maybe hasn't fitted what Clayton McMillan wants from a winger.
You know what I mean?
He's going back to the Bulls, replacing Kurt Lierenza, who's off to Japan.
And crucially, my understanding is that Munster are happy to give up that NIQ spot, that non-Irish qualified spot to try and get a tight head.
Now, I don't know if they're going to be able to get the tight head that they want next season because it's a World Cup year and any tight head worth their salt is locked into a contract.
So it might be a case that they might have to wait till after the World Cup to get an international tight head.
But that is my understanding that they're giving up the winger spot to get a tight head, which would make perfect sense.
Look, that's been an issue for a long period of time.
I think he would like it to have a very strong set piece focus, which, as you just said there, Joe, has been an issue for a long, long time.
They absolutely don't have that.
We mentioned how good the Connacht scrum was they took
Munster apart last weekend their line out has been shambolic at times this season you think back to the Sharks game over there a few weeks ago so like those pillars of what I would see as his game plan a strong kicking game as well Craig Casey is obviously a key part of that but the drop off like you were saying you were chatting to Will earlier the drop off from Jack Crowley to the rest of the out halves is
It's just stark, really.
Which is not his fault.
It's not his fault.
