I wonder is he just finding Ireland just quite stressful and is it wearing on him when he goes into that Ireland set up and like if selection doesn't go his way during the Six Nations what state will he be in coming back Hanron hasn't been great I thought Hanron was a clever recruit because he'd been good for Connacht but it hasn't gone brilliantly for him although the last two weeks coming off the bench dovetailing with Crowley that's been okay

but for Macmillan it's an opportunity I think to kind of to reboot over the next they've only got three games in the next two months maybe it's four games in the next two months because of the Six Nations and then they've got two competitions to aim for and they're still right in the mix for the URC and they have the Challenge Cup is winnable they are one of the teams who can win the Challenge Cup and that might not be what Munster fans started off the season wanting but you've got to just reset your expectations and try and go and have a weekend in Bilbao and win a trophy it's

The challenge.

I think there are players, like their A team has run Leinster closer, have had really competitive games with Leinster.

There are good players there.

I think Dagbo is someone you can build your team around.

Gleeson, his injury was very bad timing.

I think they'll both be in the Ireland set up.

I think Dagbo could be in the 23 in Paris.

He was that good on Saturday.

There are his younger brother is a very good player Sean a dog ball really powerful carrier I wonder will he pivot towards youth and start trying to invest heavily in a kind of you know building a new team and I'd say a few of the old stages made made the part at the end of this season but that's that's one area he could go but it's a fair point for Eddie.

It would feel big.

It's funny what having three Irish teams in the Challenge Cup, suddenly there's a frisson of, now we're suddenly we have a frisson of excitement.

Connacht would say it's always been a great competition.

And they obviously have the Sharks at home, which that's a tough draw for them.

Look, I beat the Challenge Cup finals on the eve of Champions Cup finals.

And teams always seem to enjoy winning it.

This is not a competition that Irish rugby can sniff at.

There's only three trophies available at the start of every season.

And I have spoken to players.
