And, um,

If they can get that within the squad, it's very, very beneficial no matter who's playing.

Yeah, it just goes to show that...

It can change so quickly.

Case in point is Ulster, you know, all the positivity and it could unravel a little bit for them and you need a little bit of luck with your squad and your profile, your players available.

I think Connacht were very inconsistent again and losing lots of games.

A lot of unlucky losses and it's probably been, we've spoken a lot about that in the last few years, but there seems to be a little bit of a

an imprint away of what Luke Stewart Lancaster is trying to do and the pace and the accuracy and, and the execution of some of the tries they're scoring.

And, and it's that time of year when you're getting drier grounds and you're not, um, they're getting a bounce from basically his coach.

And I think, and, and their players are playing with a real, a really impressed me last week was not just to try as this score, but just the speed of movement around the field, the urgency, um,

and there's a there's a really good intensity about what they're trying to do all the time so it's very difficult to get the ball back off them and i think um again there's probably a few question marks at times about defensively and and if they can tidy that up and they can get results in the next few weeks it's a really difficult one against the lions tomorrow to to go and back up a second win in south africa but it's doable and it's achievable and and

Out of the two games, pre the two South African games, you would have said, well, the Lions won is probably their best chance of getting results.

So, yeah, I think they have a great chance and they're playing full of confidence and things are starting to click for them.

And, you know, they're in a really good place at the moment and full of confidence.

The Red 78.

We're both monster people.

Traverick!

Good, Rory.

Not too bad now.

Good rugby at the weekend.
