Berk O'KellyHOST
It's, it's, it was really, really weird, and it was a game where I think individuals really stood out.
Berk O'KellyHOST
So, like, before we kind of go into Ulster's, like, attack in the second half, I think Coombs, Van der Merwe, Kendell, like, got two tries.
Berk O'KellyHOST
He just, he was everywhere.
Will FoleyHOST
Yeah.
Berk O'KellyHOST
it wasn't like Byrne leading the line, and that's what Munster need-
Will FoleyHOST
No
Berk O'KellyHOST
... is, like, having Van der Merwe in the second half, like, two turnovers when Ulster are, like, starting to pick up speed.
Berk O'KellyHOST
Coombs with his, with his few turnovers as well and just being a, a general nuisance with some very good carries.
Parker CowleyHOST
And before I kind of get breaking into the game, I'll do the Munster side of the equation.
Parker CowleyHOST
So for Munster, it's Jeremy Lachman at one, Van de Merwe at two, Kieran Brooks, three.
Parker CowleyHOST
Evan O'Connell is joined by the returning Tyke Byrne.
Parker CowleyHOST
Jack O'Donoghue, Alex Candela and Gavin Coombs make up the back row with Craig Casey, JJ Hanrahan, Sean O'Brien, Dan Calley, Alex Nankerville, Shane Daly and Ben O'Connor making up the back line with Jimmer Baron, Josh Ritchie, Jack Anger, Tom O'Hearn, Brian Gleeson, Ben O'Dullivan, Charlie O'Shea and John Hodnett making up the bench, which is another 6-2 split for Munster as well.
IanHOST
So he turned it into something good by completing something really difficult.
IanHOST
So I didn't, I'm the same as you with regards to going and tackling, missing and Van der Merwe.
IanHOST
Like it's a tough tackle, but would have been really useful to make it.
IanHOST
And you don't think when you're tackling somebody off broken ball, 10 metres from their own line, this is going to be, if I miss this one, we're under our own posts.
MarkHOST
He
TonyHOST
helped set up the van der Merwe trial.
TonyHOST
When he
MarkHOST
got around to Swat League.
9 MINS LATER
TonyHOST
Who else got a touch? I don't remember.
TonyHOST
But then Moody beats Ikitao.
TonyHOST
And then, yes, heads up Van der Merwe.
TonyHOST
That was...
ThalaHOST
They were realizing that the Rash defense was catching them out, trying to play off 10.
ThalaHOST
And I think Moody and Van der Merwe especially were just stopping any attacks from going out wide.
ThalaHOST
So then they focused on sort of, you know, playing off nine, like getting those good carries and then going wide after that, after drawing a few people in.
ThalaHOST
And they, you know, they trust their forwards, you know, especially like Harry Wilson and their ability to get those passes out wide.
30 MINS LATER
ThalaHOST
Like, that's still the biggest problems, I think, that the Springbok squad has.
ThalaHOST
Like, I thought Moody was really good in the defence in the first half, and I don't think he was probably the person to blame for any of, like, the tries.
ThalaHOST
And obviously then, like, I don't even think he was even the person to blame for the Jorgensen try because it was a pretty rough pass from Van der Merwe because there was a rough pass from Sascha and then that sort of cascaded into the mistake and then Jorgo got it.
ThalaHOST
But it's...
Tom EnglishHOST
So I can't see him making up the ground to get into the World Cup squad, but I could see him having a very big season.
Tom EnglishHOST
for Edinburgh, especially with the injury profile of Darcy Graham and doing van der Merwe.
Tom EnglishHOST
So he needs to step up now and he stepped up big time.
Tom EnglishHOST
He is raw, as you say, Berkey, he's dead raw.
Tom EnglishHOST
But to get into the World Cup squad, like you look at the wings that Townsend is going to have, Dobie, Graham, fingers crossed.
Tom EnglishHOST
Steyn, Kyle Rowe, Johan van der Merwe maybe, although he's got a lot of ground to make up.
Tom EnglishHOST
Blair Kinghorn could play in the wing.
Tom EnglishHOST
That's a lot of class for Satala to get through.
Mark BrandonHOST
And what I would say is, look, there was a couple of things.
Mark BrandonHOST
South Africa were, I think it was Van der Merwe, didn't get a try in the corner.
Mark BrandonHOST
Now, the ref never stocked the clock.
Mark BrandonHOST
If they had that one minute back, I think maybe they would have probably pulled off what would have been very unlikely.
Parker CowleyHOST
I don't have positions here on my list of names.
Parker CowleyHOST
But Kieran Brooks, Jack Ainger, Van de Merwe, Marinus Van de Merwe, the hooker, and Will Harrison all coming in.
Parker CowleyHOST
Jack Anger is going to be a lost cop.
Parker CowleyHOST
I like what he brings ball in hand.
