And Sam has come in and kind of rebuilt that.
back to where we told he was at.
And probably the logical thing is for Farrell to go back to Sam and actually say, look, you've got momentum now.
You've got your confidence back.
We believed in you a year ago.
We put a lot of time into you and go and keep that momentum going.
But if he believes that Farrell, he's just...
like the challenge is like we still need to find a 10 for the World Cup not saying that Jack isn't but this is a great opportunity for us to find our second 10 or someone who's going to go push Jack or maybe pass him out depending whereas if we kind of like for example I don't think we'll do this but if we give each of them a game
You're satisfying nobody.
Yeah, I don't think we're going anywhere.
That'll be very harsh on Sam or Frawley or Harry if they lose out.
But I think when you're talking about Irish rugby and I think the break, the injury to Jack is a blow to Ireland and...
It's a blow to him, but it gives us a chance to find out who's the clear second best, I think, by the end of this.
And I think that'll be Farrell's motivation.
And I suppose it really depends.
Does he think Sam is back to where he needs to be?
Or does he think, no, I need to find out, I need to give Frawley that confidence, that momentum, let him run the team for this tour, knowing he's going to go back to Connacht, where it won't be easy with Joshua and he...
It's no guarantee he's going to start every game, but certainly that was the kind of motivation for Frawley to go down there was to play 10.
Unfortunately, we're talking about the Irish 10 jersey again, but I think selection for this week will be really interesting to get insight on what's in Andy Farrell's mind.
Just from a pure performance and result point, a chase and result point view on Saturday, the logical and the correct decision is to start Sam, have Frawley on the bench.
