Interim head coach Ian Costello explained the thinking behind Munster’s rotation in Castres.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Castres WITH JUST 57 seconds on the clock, Jack Crowley has a chance to put Munster into a fine attacking position down in the Castres 22.
These moments are snapshots of Crowley’s night as the Munster out-half endured a frustrating outing in Stade Pierre Fabre, where he started a Champions Cup game for the first time ever back in 2022. Munster won that day. Advertisement Costello said that last-gasp missed touch is part of the game when players like Crowley look for every inch with their kicks.
The interim boss was disappointed with the sheer number of errors that Munster made, with his sense being that they overplayed in their own half too often but kicked the ball away too soon on a couple of occasions in the Castres half. “We know there’s Irish players that will come out over the next few weeks so Gavin, for example, playing really well, we’ll freshen him up and come back in again next week.”
“There’s a long season left and this six-game block is particularly attritional so as a squad and as a group of coaches we made the decisions we think are right for now and right for the medium term as well.”
