Costello highlighted the team's exceptional work rate and physicality, noting that it was their best game of the season. He acknowledged the challenging nature of the upcoming match against Northampton, who are the reigning Premiership champions and known for their exciting brand of rugby. However, Costello believes that the team's current form and the valuable insights provided by performance consultant Chris Boyd, who previously coached Northampton, will give them a strong advantage.Boyd, who joined Munster in December as a performance consultant, has proven to be an invaluable asset. Costello revealed that discussions are underway to extend Boyd's stay with the team for the remainder of the season. Boyd's deep understanding of Northampton's playing style and tactics will be crucial for Munster in preparing for the match. Costello emphasized the importance of identifying Northampton's strengths and weaknesses, and Boyd's expertise in this area will undoubtedly play a key role in formulating Munster's game plan.
