Sharks have won this competition before, so you would expect they probably will.

Yeah, so that's...

That's going to be hard.

And maybe they're better off out or not so they can focus on the URC.

Oh, really?

Even you go and you get three bonus points.

As you said, it's all about bonus point management on those tours.

But that Munster, I think a couple of years ago, I called it the Munster-Connacht game a desperation derby after neither team had won in their first couple of games.

I think we can use Philip Quinn's quotes and call it a million-dollar derby this year.

It's going to be a big game.

That's good.

There could be so much on the line.

Now, look, Munster could go and win this weekend.

They could be in a much better position.

They could be jostling for position.

But it feels like right now that's going to be the defining game in both of their seasons.

In front of the newsstand as well.

We have a bit of time to go, but I'd say I'll be down at that one.

Standards have slipped, I think it's fair to say.

Whether it's the fact that because of a tightening of belts, they've had to let some of their most senior players go, or their more senior players have opted.
