Yeah, you've nailed it.

That kind of one word, one score game and off the kickoff to make a big poach kind of changed the game, isn't it?

It's mad.

I remember we used to do a thing that we would only celebrate a score after we exited the kickoff, if you know what I mean.

It just helped with the mentality of...

don't switch off don't switch off the kickoff is you know what I mean because you know after you've conceded a try that's the first place to get back into the game so and that was just a bit of a soft entry look you don't want to be overly hard on the players we played at altitude it is horrendous but for me I expected a little bit more I know there's a massive amount of injuries in terms of their you know what I mean and that team to be fair are dealing with an awful lot but I don't want to go too easy on the players I

I expected more for a quarterfinal.

I expected them to go down kicking, screaming, and it just whimpered out, which isn't a great way to be.

I know a lot of people were probably relieved that the season's over because it's been a tough one.

But overall, I think when you get to kind of quarterfinals, you have to find something more than Munster had there.

And like we've seen Munster do that before, go on the road with that team under Graham Rountree and Peter O'Manning go over there and bop.

I've always said it here, Tommy, I can live with results.

I just didn't see probably a reflection of want as much as you'd like it.

And I hate saying that about the lads, but, you know.

Every excuse is there if you want, and I'm going to be really harsh on the players, if you want to hide behind them.

Like I remember brilliant leaders I would have had, like Anthony Foley would have spoke about them, would have spoke about the travel, would have spoke about the different things and said, we're not using them.

You know what I mean?

They're there for the week.

You know what I mean?

They're for the checkouts, the easy out.
