Glasgow did it at the Connacht.
They kicked the ball into dangerous positions that are very difficult.
It's half kicks.
It's a little attacking, trading kicks.
And funnily enough, the first time I heard about this Coffin Corner, the Crusaders way, was through Tyler Blindale when he was coaching me as a player.
and we were competing but he was the coach with his book out explaining to everyone in the group but Coffin Corner was that idea of not a full kick that goes into touch it's just dribbling the one in front of the covering winger or the 15 that has to come and do something with it and they're going to make a knock on or they're going to get under pressure break down turnover and I think the best attacking teams are probably still kicking the ball in the best way but to go back to Munster I think they're just that bit shy of contact power to probably get into semi-final, final win the league at this stage
they're smart enough particularly through the coaches to get that balance right and actually put a squeeze on Conor who played well but I thought Joshua Ioane injury was huge for them because he was just on fire I thought he was electric he just wanted to make things happen from the start just sorry so I don't get the point wrong the only thing about Munster that I would say is like you put Edwin Adagbo, John Klein and I was leaving but you put Ty Burn back in there, Jack Crowley back in
I understand how they might win games with a bit of luck on injury lists and everything else going forward.
But unfortunately, you know, you can't bank on that in the back end of a season with internationals.
Like Tyburn is the most minutes out of anyone.
Lyons saw into internationals and all that.
He was going to be missing at some stage.
So I think when you're relying on that level of player, it's going to come against you at some stage and you're going to end up falling short.
George Horne was very impressive, very, very energetic.
But I think it goes back to the fact that, like, you know what, Munster have...
Sorry, Neil, for going back.
But once they're having their attack in intricacies would only really work when you've got the foundations that Glasgow have in terms of mall set, like their whole set piece, their lineup, their mall, their scrum.
And then they have, you know, Tuipilato up the middle.
I'm a massive fan of Alex Nankovic, by the way, but like Tuipilato is unbelievable, kind of at least, well, he's a definite double threat, you know.
Yeah, no, they're impressive that way.
