I am from a GAA background.

My dad played a bit of rugby for a tie, believe it or not.

But what I see is I have friends now that are really into rugby.

So they got into rugby as fans.

They support Leinster and they watch Leinster.

But they somehow possibly feel like maybe they can't play or that their kids won't play or whatever it is.

I don't know what that disconnect is because it's...

it's obviously imagined but it's trying to then link those the new fans we've inherited through the game the popularity of the sport with the success that Ireland and Leinster have had the last few years and then somehow match them to their club so we can grow the game and if you look at Portlaoise that's

you know, if you could get, I don't know, like growth of new clubs, not you, you don't have like not much more than maybe four in the county and try and then work on that.

That would obviously be a big ordeal in terms of.

Leash is a bit of history.

Leash produced the Rigneys.

Yeah, the Rigneys and the Mastersons, you know, Rigneys and Mastersons.

And then you've Eimear Currie there who just played in the last World Cup and she's actually on the bench tomorrow for Black Rockets, her first game back after a break.

So the GAA do have that.

So I don't know how that happens but it's trying to maybe get a few more clubs within counties and not just I suppose sometimes they just see Leinster as being Dublin but try to get it outside the Vale.
