doesn't really clarify in anything because, and here, the Roger Randall thing, I understand the appeal and all that stuff.
My challenge around that was, was the fact that for such a thing that's so important, we didn't even get real clarity that he's across it in a big way.
Things had started last week because he heard Ian Flanagan saying it, doesn't know when it's going to finish, doesn't know if he's going to be interviewed, right?
So is that true or false?
That was the main point of the column.
It wasn't the fact to have a go at you guys.
I just had to paint a picture of how it happened.
If the answer is that the questions, the answers were going to be the same anywhere, that's fine.
I understand that.
But the result is we still don't have the answers.
I totally get that.
My point is that I think at a time when attendances are down, bar international rugby, where there's a lot of worry in the grassroots, a lot of worry in the development, the pathways, that this team is ageing.
The best of Irish rugby has been carried on the back of Peter Manny, Conor Murray, Johnny Sexton and now Tyke Furlong, Jack Conan, Gibson Park, James Lowe, Gary Ringrose, Bundy Aki.
They're all heading, they're either past, finished or heading towards the end.
So David Humphries and the RFU's job is to make sure that the dips aren't too low.
That the provinces are healthy.
The four provinces are healthy and he's been clear on that.
Like today or tomorrow, Ireland play Fiji in the under-20s Junior World Cup for ninth place.
It's a ninth place playoff.
That's a little worry when apparently we're the best pathway in the world.
