I think we're going to see a few debuts handed out as well, and not just Billy Bohan, who we kind of are expecting to be in their loose head prop, given the lack of others who are able to cover in that position.
But I think we're going to see plenty of rotation.
When you think about that game against the All Blacks, not to completely disregard Japan, but
Nobody has beaten New Zealand at Eden Park in 32 years.
France in 94 is the last time someone did that.
And when you're trying to frame things coming into a World Cup next year, what a way that would be to kickstart the 12 months leading into a World Cup camp if you were going to be the team who's going to be able to do that.
So I think they're really looking and targeting that All Blacks game.
And it probably starts with resting up some of the bodies this week.
Yeah, the way you're talking about there, Leinster might have to get their skates on on a point run in O'Gara before England get in ahead of them.
I don't know at this stage.
I could see either, to be totally honest.
But, you know, like, even if you just look across the premiership, I suppose who'd be the most obvious candidate there?
Someone like Phil Dowson at Northampton Saints.
Completely.
I think you would kind of caveat...
I think it is a bit unfair to compare the last couple of years with Van Graan's time.
Van Graan had quite clearly had a better squad of players at his disposal.
He had some top quality Ireland internationals right at the peak of their game.
And I think if you look at the playing squad Munster have had over the last couple of years, it doesn't really necessarily compare.
I think we probably went wrong for Van Graan.
