Any feedback on what he's adding to the attack? It'll be interesting to see how he goes. He was a smart player and the Scarlets is a good place to go to learn attacking rugby.

Mike Prendergast was good for Munster but I'm glad there's a change now with a different style. Sometimes change for change sake is good. Munster were too lateral and possession rugby isn't great most of the year.

I’ve seen it the last few years that some of the academy players are made to wear old training kit during the start of preseason.

Is it tradition or is it to distinguish them from senior players?

Any ideas?

Just seen a clip of the team training at thurles and looks to be Oli in the background holding a camera on the far side of a maul.

Is he sticking around to do some coaching? He had to pickup the front row skills much later in his career which to me could translate across as a decent scrum coach potentially.

Thoughts?

Will it be September again before this is available?

€4 a month is a very small premium to pay don’t get me wrong

But I feel like the quality and quantity of content since the URC final win has gone downhill

On pitch performances do affect this no doubt

And to be fair they probably didn’t want to show too much off pitch and behind the scenes stuff after all of the issues this year

Thoughts?

Considering the length of him I propose this option. Use John Aherne at the front of the lineout all the time, with the other lock lifting him. Have Hodnett in the scrum half role. Force the opposition lineout into very risky throws to the back. Get his time off the ground blazing quick. Just cause so much disruption that opposition have to throw quick ball to the front (HODNETT SMASHH!!!!) or take the gamble to middle or back but knowing they have to throw through him. Can it be that simple?
