I know, obviously, as we said, he had signed on to extend his contract and ultimately kind of invoked the six-month clause.
But there were a couple of Pro 12, Pro 14, whatever it was, finals against Leinster or semifinals where they just never really showed up and never really landed a blow on the day.
And it just...
it was the sheer fact that those games against Leinster sort of felt like foregone conclusions before a ball was kicked I think particularly that 2021 COVID final against between Munster and Leinster at the RDS when it was really it felt like it was really there for Munster to take Leinster on that day that Leinster hadn't really caught fire that season Munster had a very very good campaign and it was just a very very facile performance and I think it was one of those things that
In a way, it just had sort of run its course ever so slightly over the few years.

Like we saw it last year with Leinster after they got knocked out by Northampton in the Champions Cup and they went through the URC and it was really us against the world mentality.
They didn't really do that this year, the players, because I think they kind of knew they just weren't able to kind of repeat it like that.
It would have felt a little bit stale.
The South African team seem to be able to do that week in, week out, and it does not seem to be getting stale anytime soon.
Yeah, look, it might be.
