Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

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.

Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

But I think if you're drafting players from the other three provinces, Crowley, Byrne and Casey go off the board very, very quickly.

Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

But then the next Munster player being picked is probably a good bit down.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

I actually think Connacht and Ulster probably have much deeper first 15s, I think.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

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.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Yeah, the Lions, that wasn't a 31-7 game, that Lions-Lenster game.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Like, Lenster are a better team and deserve to win.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

But I thought the Lions were...

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

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

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Yeah.

Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Which is very different to a crock roll clear out.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

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.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Well, if they win, if they beat the Lions, the most likely outcome is a trip to Loftus First to play the Bulls.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Just looking at the fixtures because the Bulls are home to Benetton.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

You'd expect them to take care of business there.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

So that'd be a daunting trip.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

And if they lose and Cardiff, Ulster and Connacht all win, they're out of the Champions Cup next season.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Now, that does seem unlikely that that would all come to fruition.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

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.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

So they'll need to take care of business this weekend.
