So Katrina Finn with the 83rd minute match winning try.
What was your reaction to all of that unfolding before you?
Yeah, no, it certainly was an incredible conclusion to that match.
You are listening to Fiona Hayes on Wednesday Night Rugby and Off the Ball, which is with Bank of Ireland, a proud sponsor of Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster Rugby.
Never stop competing.
Fiona, we are pretty much out of time, so we'll have to catch up on.
men's related matters and Munster rugby more specifically another time just to run the rule over what's happening this weekend for people it is Ulster versus Stormers on Friday at 7.45 in the URC Leinster versus the Lions on Saturday at half past five and then Connacht versus Munster Saturday at a quarter to eight so you've got Connacht in ninth place
on 44 points these are the penultimate round of fixtures by the way Connaughton 9th on 44 points Ulster in 8th on 47 and Ulster have the Stormers and Glasgow in the last two fixtures so that's going to be a tough enough run in for them Munster in 5th on 51 points and Leinster in 4th on 53 points so it's all really to play for in terms of that top 8 one of the big questions and there have been a lot of big questions around Munster over the last couple of months is the financial one
And qualifying for Europe, qualifying for the Champions Cup is an absolute must for them.
But as I say, in fifth place at the moment, they'll want to get something out of that Connacht clash on Saturday evening.
So plenty of rugby to look forward to this weekend.
Fiona Hayes, always great to chat to you.
Thanks a million.
Yeah, so this has been at the back of a huge fallout to his appointment, which was announced two weeks ago.
So as you can imagine, loads of backlash to this because Roger Randall was accused of rape back in 1997 in South Africa when he was playing with his New Zealand team.
in Durban.
Now, he has always denied these charges.
However, with that allegation comes a lot of backlash, as I say, towards the province and towards Clayton Macmillan, the head coach who would have worked with Roger Randall in the past.
Now, Clayton Macmillan had previously been on the record standing over this, vouching for Roger Randall as an individual and as a human being.
But behind the scenes, not everybody was happy at Munster.
