I don't think that you would ever see anybody throw a game.
So he has to bring it aside down to the part that he thinks can do a job.
It will rely heavily on young players.
And then they've got to go flat out in Belfast the following week against Exeter.
The run-in is massive.
Ulster's run-in was hugely difficult in the first place.
So, you know, this is just a set of circumstances that have...
given Richie and his coaching team a huge problem.
And if they come through this and make the top eight, no matter where they make the top eight, given the injury constraints and given the fixture list on the run-in, it will be a marvellous achievement.
And if they make it to Bilbao on top of that for the Challenge Cup final, it'll be amazing.
I wouldn't be disparaging about Munster.
I thought they played really well in the game at the weekend.
So, I mean, it's been a challenge for them in a variety of different ways, if you like.
They have a team that produced a performance that are coming off a very good win, a comprehensive win in Italy and Treviso.
And yeah, they love momentum going into the game.
So the only thing that will let them down is a lack of concentration and focus on the job at hand.
And I can't see them doing that because they don't have the latitude or the luxury.
And what Conor did in South Africa last weekend kind of put the cat amongst the pigeons in terms of
the top eight in the URC table.
So nobody can afford to take their foot off the pedal in terms of going forward.
