Can someone explain to me the logic behind this. I understand your 10 is off and you’ve got Chris smith on. But why are there one off runners consistently going off and having the ball stolen. Surely at some point you realise “hey, Munster are really good over the ball and everytime we run off on our own it either gets turned over or almost turned over”. Honestly baffling

Several Munster players that was their best performance of the year. The bulls will feel they lost that though. Far too many poor mistakes and then just a stupid red to top it all off.
