You're saying like you're into the last four or five, six months.

And like, that's when you're trying to get an extension or,

start that process and saying, can I, I want to stay for another year?

Am I playing well enough?

Um, but yeah, there's, there's, there's players there that need to play better and they're certainly coming to a critical point in their careers from an age perspective as well.

They're not young for us anymore.

Um, and, uh, the younger players that are coming through need to, need to get more game time.

You know, Michael Foy, the dog buzz, we've seen them coming through.

Um,

Brian Gleeson is coming through in the last couple of years, Rowan Quinn, Evan O'Connell.

We need to see more of these guys.

We need to see young players being put in there because they need to get their opportunities and create that kind of fear factor for some of the players who are more established, who haven't been playing consistently well this year.

doesn't mean that they're not good players but it's a business and Munster are underperforming at the moment and it's been a bar from the start of the season it's been dreadful so yes I think players need to come under pressure and be scrutinised and if they're not performing unfortunately that's the nature of the business changes will have to be made a lot of those changes are already decided I think there's a certain number of players moving on at the end of the season anyway but

It feels like this Munster team needs a bit of a shake-up.

You know, a good shake-up.

That is the feeling out there, particularly in that last message that there's a disconnect becoming now and a frustration, I think, with Munster fans.

The stuff that's happened in the last, not just in the last week, a couple of weeks ago with the announcement of redundancies being asked for the results, the latest situation with Roger Randall,

I think it's just the last thing the team need at the moment.

And it's just one kind of negative story after the other.

We can't avoid that.
