His teammates respect his talent but view him as a physical coward
Former winger Roger Randall name i heard.
What did Murray say about him?
Heās talking about Mike Prendergast leaving Munster, not Sam Prendergast.

He didnāt say him exactly but he said he found the final game in Thomond incredibly disrespectful. A few other things like that.
Murray comes across as a bit of a twat.

More and more that seems to be the case. He is certainly after coming out of this shell with a book to sell

Heās not covering himself in glory alright and heās not great at the oul punditry either although heās new to it to be fair.

Very true.
I wonder is there much bad blood after Murray and Pom came off national contracts and barely played coming back to Munster.
It canāt have gone down well and at a time when Munster were cutting the squad due to the budget being cut.
No real positives tonight bar the win.
Where is young O Connell? Why arenāt munster giving him more gametime?
Heās played a few games. Not many games anymore the way things work.
Heās competing with Jean Kleyn, beirne, edogbo, wycherly and sometimes Tom ahern.
Farrell looked a level above everyone else on the pitch. Not much to comment on after that.

Hard to know where theyāre at really. Started off the season great (OāGara seems to give Prendergast a lot of credit for that), gone backwards a long way since. Looked not far off a group playing together for the first time yesterday. The trip to SA will give a fair idea of where theyāre at.
Said it before but I think they started the season fitter and better prepared than some other teams after a v intense pre season. Think it gave a false read on where they were at

They seemed to lose all confidence after the stormers cluster fuck.
It sort of reminds me of Limerick under kiely in 2017. This season is a bridging year. We lost three games by less than a score in the Leinster
Home game and the two January European cup games.
They have defined the season now. Iām hoping next year they can improve like Ulster under richie Murphy in season two. Turn those one score losses into a one score win.
Does that alone explain it though? They looked like a team that were cohesive and very clear in what they were trying to do, thatās unravelled as the season has gone on. Maybe they can bring it back together when they get the full squad together again for the last part of the season.
