And I think why not?
We're just an honest group that I suppose state what we want to do and say what we want to say, I guess.
But yeah, look, I think we've spoken a lot about belief in our group.
It's something that's been there, I'd say, in every Irish team that's gone.
But this Irish team really,
really lean into it and like we believe that we can be the best in the world and that's just how it is and I guess that bit of confidence then like from my point of view anyways it comes from how you prepare because like if you can prepare and be in those moments where it's really tough in a session or like if you know that like your skill set is good enough to go and beat tier one nations then like it should give you confidence so yeah look at like I think I think we're just an honest group that speak our mind and
We are confident in what we can do.
We just know that if we believe and we do everything in our power, then good things should hopefully follow.
probably every waking moment yeah look like I've said it before like I'm just a nerd and I'm extremely curious so yeah like I think I watch a lot of rugby whether it's women's rugby whether it's men's rugby kids rugby like youth rugby anything yeah
Because, like, you never really know where that bit of inspiration for a certain skill or something might come apart.
Like, Hugh and I, we watched the Sevens a bit for different skills and we came up with different kind of little bits of skill that we picked out from different people, whether it was the Kiwis or Australians or anything.
Like, you can pick anything out of any sort of game.
And then, yeah, like, I think whoever is rooming with me on, like, the games and all that crack, like,
it's a good thing I've headphones because I just can't sleep unless I watch the game so like straight after the game I'll watch it and I'll probably watch it a few times I won't go to sleep unless I've watched it like even against France when it was what like midnight when I was talking to you guys with media or something like that and
I still went home and watched it, I'd say, two or three times.
I'll make up for sleep somewhere along the line, but for me, I just love rugby.
I just breathe it.
Every chance I can get, I'm literally doing rugby.
Even at the minute, I'm sitting in Harlequin's base and I'll go into rehab in a minute and then I'll try to get some skills done later on after gym, but that's just who I am.
It's how I get to where I am and how I think that I'll get...
