The Red 78 | Connacht conquer mediocre Munster | Ep.156

All right, uh, let's get into the weeds of that match.

Um, obviously not spectacular.

Munster losing 26 to seven.

Um, let's get the thoughts of our listeners first, though, Fiona Hayes.

Yeah, thanks again guys for sending in the tweets.

I'll read out a couple here.

Um, we'll start with Trevor.

"So much dead wood in the depth chart by the looks of performance on Saturday.

If they're not able to front up Sat- or on S-" he should've said Sunday, "but if they're not able to front up on Saturday, surely wholesome change has to follow.

Bring loads more youth through immediately, even at the expense of a full year of learnings and yearnings.

Massive game on Saturday.

Thankfully Munster play last on Saturday, and we'll know exactly what is needed, um, from kickoff.

A shot at sort of redemption that needs to be taken." Ronan said, "Fair play Connacht.

Crowley is just a massive loss to the team as well as Tadhg.

I genuinely think Tom would've added a bit of something.

Surprised he wasn't on the bench.

Maybe I missed something on that, but surely you'd imagine if he was available he'd start over JJ.

Um, Pat said, "Getting beaten happens, but to be held scoreless against Sharks for the whole match and Connacht last week, um, for half a match is unacceptable." Uh, and he goes into JJ a little bit.

Dave O'Hearn is the same.

"Can JJ be given another start for Munster given how flat Munster were going and how long it took for us to get into the game? What's going wrong in the dressing room? Can Macmillan be believed what he says? We had a good training week in every post-match-"

Mm

... "interview." And then I suppose there's one for you, Quinny, here.

"What does Alan think will be the fallout from the independent review?" This is JJ Casey.
