But I think there has been an increased level of effort from him physically, particularly the front-on stuff.

the challenge for him at the moment and I don't want to pick holes here is laterally he still has work to do his movement laterally so if you look at some of the some of the line breaks we made Australia made when he's kind of on the edge just a little bit vulnerable there but that's the next work on you know I mean the first part is being able to make your front up tackles or to be able to

at least slow people down.

And a 10 v. Valentini, that's, I mean, like, he's not the only one that's going to get knocked over there.

Yeah, he was excellent.

He was excellent.

So, look, I think Frawley came on, had a good impact, came on, obviously, in the backfield, but it was a really good outing.

And I think Farrell will be really happy with it because it's really important that we rehabilitate Sam Prendergast, get him back,

playing well both for Leinster and Ireland.

Jack Crowley will come back from injury.

It looks like he'll be first choice for Munster without a doubt and we know what he can do.

Frawley then will go to Connacht and Jack Murphy continues to develop.

So by the time the World Cup comes around next year, we should have more options.

We're playing week in, week out and that's only good for us right now.

New Zealand are definitely a work in progress and they will be I mean it's the first it's the first block of games under Dave Rennie I think what it showed was there's still there's lots of problems in New Zealand rugby but that group still have

plenty about them you know if Dave Rennie gets them right um in a year's time they should be in a in a really good place they're still you know world-class players there Barrett uh Will Jordan uh Roy Gard is absolutely flying obviously Sevilla etc so

they if they're in a good place in terms of culturally in terms of belief in the coaching staff I think they've still got plenty plenty about them but for me the big winner there was France absolutely you know again more players getting exposed to international rugby young players you know Lucu Jalibert getting a chance to play without DuPont

You know, there and just bring that Bordeaux form to France, just the grit they showed, the athleticism.

And obviously DuPont hasn't travelled on this trip, but they now go to Sydney or go to Australia, pick up the guys who didn't bother travelling, didn't have to travel to New Zealand, fresh bodies, even better players.

And their squad depth, I mean, the way I look at it, South Africa and France, squad depth is by far the best.
