I'm not sure if they classify that as line-out one at source, potentially so, but... They did.

They did, yeah.

And that's the challenge sometimes with stats.

Every coach will have...

their own grading system and certainly O'Connell wouldn't consider that a line out one you know because it's about quality delivered ball is what most coaches will expect it was a mixture of everything I mean the first one obviously leads to a try which again it blows up in your mind that's the throws too early you know the movement works the dummy pod puts the jumper in space but I think Kelleher released it

maybe half a second too early and it's overthrown.

And then I think he got the hips a little bit.

He had two knots straight.

There was one poor call where I think James Ryan, I think called a throw jump on himself when he was marked and they got their hand to it.

And just...

Unfortunately, we're not great at problem solving during the game.

We don't have a natural line-out guru, I'd say, or one or two line-out gurus.

And that's why Darren Murray, or not Murray, sorry, Darren Murray, he caught the eye in camp.

in the Six Nations because of how detailed he is and how good he is at opposition line-up, but also his own line-up work.

And him and O'Connell are kind of similar minds on that.

But unfortunately, he's not in the front line at the moment, you know.

He's a developing player trying to push out the Joe McCartys, the James Ryans, the Ty Burns, which is pretty difficult.

So, it's definitely a work in progress.

I'd imagine it'd be better this week.

But just, yeah, it was a reason why, against Australia as well, you know, it wasn't as fluid as it needed to be.
