The tactics were wrong, we have looked vulnerable this year when we have resorted to last year's game plan, that structured box kicking slow game is mince.
When Dougie took the game by the throat we scored, why play a conservative plan against the masters of this approach?
Munster looked tired in the second half, what not run them off their feet by upping the pace again and again?
We won, but the lesson for me is that last year's game plan should stay there.

Next season we may well be a different beast and expectations higher we are night and day ahead of the last few seasons. We are a proper pain in the KelvinDeaker team to play these days.

They’re brutally honest on there - the phrase ‘that was a special effort to make the second half worse than the first’ is particularly choice.

From their point of view yes. I thought the 2nd half was impressive - just look at the tackle stats. That was pretty much their first choice front 5 and they didn't get any change from us.
Only concern is we will be losing 4 experienced members of that pack next year in Cochrane, CDP, Hardie and Lay. We'll be weaker as a result.
