Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

So when you don't have that, it's like you're just kind of treading and trying to see where you fit in.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

But yeah, like the first game or two was definitely interesting, kind of building back to match minutes and yeah, kind of...

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

trying to find your spot in a team because obviously they'd played basically half the season at that stage but then thankfully got back for big game which was in Allianz which we bet Bristol Bears at and it was a brilliant occasion I don't think I've ever been part of something like it and yeah I think I've kind of just found my feet so yeah

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

No, yeah, I think it's boosted a lot, to be fair.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Like you see, even like we've played as Quinns, we've played in Twickenham and we've played in Prince Paddy this year.

Indo Sport

Saris and Sale played in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Like people are playing in big stadiums and they're still like getting huge crowds.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

I think Saris maybe got about 18,000 or something like that at their last game.

Indo Sport

I don't know the figure of our game in Prince Paddy, but...

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Like every week we're getting well over a thousand people in the doors to the Stoop and even versus Saris when we had them, like both sides of the Stoop were kind of selling tickets and like big crowds.

Indo Sport

And I think, yeah, that's probably the result of how well England have done in the World Cup, but as well how well they kind of publicise games and that kind of thing as well, like over in England, because...

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

They kind of pick games that they target and they go after ticket sales.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

And even with the Red Roses, the amount of social media they put out or the amount of ways that they drive it is insane.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

So yeah, I think the PWR is kind of a flag bearer for on-field stuff at the minute, because it is dubbed as the best league in the world currently with just world-class players and players.

Indo Sport

I think then it's probably leading the flagship as well with the kind of supporters too, because, yeah, they like no matter where you go, like you always get a good following, whether it's over in Gloucester and you have people in the sheds kind of screaming at you or whether it's in the stoop and they're supporting you.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

So, yeah, they've always a massive following.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah, definitely.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

Yeah, it definitely wasn't financial anyways.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

But yeah, like for me, when I moved, I was 22.

Indo Sport
Six Nations preview | Aofie Wafer in studio | Facing down England & World Cup injuries

I don't want to be challenged in a different kind of setup to what I'd been used to.
