Off the ball. Rugby.
Alan Quinlan 0:02
There's a goal in the two teams and that was the most disheartening thing. Does that mean that Leicester can't come back? No, of course they can rebuild. But the mountain is bigger than it's ever been. Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join.

Hello and welcome to the Reds 78. Rory O'Hagan from Off The Ball joined by Munster Legends Alan Quinlan and Fiona Hayes as we look ahead to knockout rugby for Munster. An absolutely huge clash coming up in South Africa this weekend. We're going to talk all the permutations, all the ins, all the outs, all the what have yous ahead of this weekend's massive, massive game for the Reds.
Ruairi O'Hagan 0:56
Quinny Hayes how are you guys good Rory not too bad now looking forward to some URC rugby again this weekend and the sun is shining I'm sure it'll be shining in South Africa as well but um it's always nice to have a bit of rugby in the sun isn't it certainly is absolutely glorious weather here in Cork today anyway as we record this Alan Quinlan um serious question now that Fiona Hayes is coaching Connacht is she allowed on this podcast anymore
Alan Quinlan 1:23
We need to have a review of everything and her movements. And she's coaching in Leinster. Now she's going to Conor. She was with Leinster. So she's now a foothold in three provinces. So Ulster next, I'd say.
Fiona Hayes 1:40
congratulations fiona on that gig as well very very best look uh for the summer ahead um look we it's a massive game for munster make no bones about that knockout rugby is on our doorstep cannot wait to watch this game at the weekend i'm going to get to that in a bit and go through all the uh the players who are missing and all i suppose the permutations are facing such a strong south african team but first fiona uh we've got a couple of messages into us

What insights do Munster legends share about the upcoming URC quarter-final?

Ruairi O'Hagan 2:07
Yeah, cheers. Thanks again, lads. I'll read out as many as I can here. We'll go with Chef The Electric. This is a bit off topic, but what do you think about how young players are hyped up differently in Munster or Leinster, particularly Tom Wood versus Casper Gabriel? On paper, it seems there's not much between them, but the talk, the weight of expectation varies massively. We can chat about that in a second. Let Hayley kick long from play. We've nothing to lose. Keane McGibney, we're in bonus territory. Unfortunately, the injuries are going to have an impact on team selection for Saturday. Let's hope the guys selected put their best foot forward and go after the Bulls from the first minute and see where that leads them.
Ruairi O'Hagan 3:05
Regards, Keane. And then JJ Casey, we can chat about this. I find the CEO statement on the review astonishing. as it is the responsibility of the CAO to be proactive more than reactive on its own governance. If he doesn't know his fiduciary responsibilities to the Munster organisation, the words untenable comes to mind. Quinny, you can jump in on that statement.
Alan Quinlan 3:33
Why don't you jump in on that statement?
Ruairi O'Hagan 3:36
You know you love to start the podcast moving.
Alan Quinlan 3:40
Look, I think there was obviously Ian Fanningham released that statement last week and I think it was welcomed that there's some form of conversation about what happened in the previous couple of weeks and it was so well documented. It's been a very difficult couple of weeks to predict trying to play matches through all the, I suppose, the attention and that situation. So there is, yeah, an argument to say it's reactive, but I think it's welcomed. For me, I think it was good that the CEO came out and spoke about it and, you know, spoke about the mistake that was made and, again, not going back into the whole thing I think that Munster fans want a bit of accountability. And I know the review, I'm not sure exactly where that's at, but there'll be some more information.
Alan Quinlan 4:45
And you need to try and be transparent with the Munster fans and let them know. Turn this thing around, try and create some positives.
