When I assess Munster compared to... Put Leinster to the side because they're obviously competing on a different level to the other three teams.
But I think if you're drafting players from the other three provinces, Crowley, Byrne and Casey go off the board very, very quickly.
But then the next Munster player being picked is probably a good bit down.
I actually think Connacht and Ulster probably have much deeper first 15s, I think.
And when I'm looking at Munster now, I know they are missing a couple of other players to be fair, but God, the performance they turned in on Saturday was not good enough.
Yeah, the Lions, that wasn't a 31-7 game, that Lions-Lenster game.
Like, Lenster are a better team and deserve to win.
But I thought the Lions were...
decent the record outside of South Africa this year is actually quite poor so to go to Tottenham and win would be a big ask but I take your point they are a dangerous team Luke just before some monthly thoughts why did you make it that red card incident actually because I know listening to the commentary team were very certainly thought it was very harsh I don't know what you made of it wasn't a red for me
Yeah.
Which is very different to a crock roll clear out.
Not sure if it was planned when Bundy was throwing into the line-out against Montpellier a few weeks ago for Connacht, but yeah, he did a half-decent job.
Well, if they win, if they beat the Lions, the most likely outcome is a trip to Loftus First to play the Bulls.
Just looking at the fixtures because the Bulls are home to Benetton.
You'd expect them to take care of business there.
So that'd be a daunting trip.
And if they lose and Cardiff, Ulster and Connacht all win, they're out of the Champions Cup next season.
Now, that does seem unlikely that that would all come to fruition.
But going into the final round of the Champions Cup, when they were playing Cass, it didn't look likely that they would be eliminated and they ended up being turfed out.
So they'll need to take care of business this weekend.
