Look, he's a good passing game.

He's not much of a running threat, but he's still a very, very good out half.

Yeah, no, I'd agree with that.

And it can be hard, you know, flying out in the middle of that South African trip to, you know, he would only probably had two training sessions to make an impact.

Obviously having Craig Casey there the week before would have helped.

But Munster are suffering a bit from those two guys being in Irish camp and it just being disjointed.

They probably lack a bit of leadership when those two guys and Tiger are away in particular.

He would have been frustrated at the weekend.

You know, when he's playing for Ireland, he's getting that front football from the likes of, you know, Darius van der Vleer.

Whereas Munster at the weekend, and especially in that first half, and I know we've mentioned it already, but...

And it's unforgivable to be getting turned over on the first, second phase when you should have a clear structure, you should know exactly who's hitting the breakdown.

And really, and this is the way Munster play, you're looking to build towards the third, fourth and fifth phase.

to then try and create a bit of a mismatch and unlock the defence.

They don't have the power game to take on the bulls and just roll around the corner, roll around the corner and beat them that way.

So I'd say he was definitely feeling the frustration of that.

But no, look, he played really well and he's himself and Casey are very much the key guys.

No, absolutely, and Icky's brave.

He's willing to take the ball right to the line.

If it doesn't work out for him and he gets whacked, he just gets up and dusts himself off again.

He tackled really well again, and he was getting plenty of big bodies coming down his channel.
