Actually thought Duncan Williams had a good game. Had one or two brain farts, but in general he passed well, sniped to good effect and made a whole load of tackles. His box kicking is extremely weak but that can be worked on. He's done everything he can to develop as a player. Lot of respect for a guy who chases his dream that hard.
Other positives. Kilcoyne was immense. Made yards on every carry, and carried a whole lot. My man of the match by a mile. He's putting his hand up for an Irish jersey if Healy doesn't perform. Perfect player to bring off the bench for impact and tempo. Scannell was excellent again. Ice running through his veins to step up and take that droppy. Taute was a serious find. The type of player who fits the Munster bill perfectly. Plays with a lot of aggression and emotion. Hope he sticks around, as he's already attracting a lot of love in Munster. Ryan had another good game. He's very fit and gets through serious work for a tighthead.
We conceded two soft enough tries. Some of the individual defensive blunders were bad, but the defensive systems, line speed and reads were very good. We showed a lot of self belief and confidence with the ball to come back from a two try deficit. Genuinely don't believe we would have had the confidence or leadership to have done that last season.
