He doesn't, you know, Will Connors doesn't even need to go in and be the guy because they've got such a good back row.
And the thing as well is, you know, we talk about the ask of going to Glasgow.
That's because they made the playoffs having had an absolute stinker of a start to the season.
So if they can continue that trajectory as well, you would back them to be a higher seed.
Now we know that might mean that, you know, you end up going to South Africa, which is a different sort of ask again, but they should be backing themselves to be higher up in that top eight next year as well if their momentum carries.
It was a sort of theme of the weekend, especially off restarts and stuff.
You had so many underdogs and sizable underdogs across these knockouts that they really had to be not perfect, but close to perfect.
And I think all of the team, all of the beating teams would say that they made mistakes
that going in, they would have known if they made those kind of errors.
They simply weren't going to win the game.
But that, to me, sort of felt like Munster's season in a microcosm because the way the game started, and you talk about falling off tackles and things like that, the scrum, obviously, felt like it was going to be such a tough day for them.
And then they fought their way back into the game at 17-14.
They were making the Bulls
pick for goal because the game was live and
gets back to that point to me to my mind is commendable that's not nothing that they fought their way back into that game but then they just then give it away again so easily it felt like they were having to fight so hard for everything they got and then they weren't making the bulls have to work as hard in return so it's not that to me that there was any lack of effort to me it was just everything for them looked so difficult
And for me, things looked a little bit too easy for the Bulls at times.
Look, the Bulls were good.
They were great up front.
You had Willy LaRue rolling back the years a few times.
You know, there was a lot to like about that Bulls performance.
