I just don't think, it doesn't look that great that Bordeaux admittedly should get their quarterfinal and last 16 at home, same as Leinster.

But then the semifinals, it's home country, not home city.

And I think that is where you think Bath and Toulon have got an even bigger mountain to climb because of where they're playing.

The top 14 do that every year.

They just book.

Okay, so last year it was in, last year on a Friday and Saturday night, it was in Lyon.

The year before it was in Bordeaux.

So you finish one and two in the league and you get a weekend off.

You don't have to play a quarterfinal and your reward is getting to a semifinal.

But the semifinals are just neutral grounds every single year.

So it's not, you know, it's not overly complicated, is it?

No.

Really, you know, because fans do it.

And if the French can organize something every year, then I can imagine anyone can.

I thought his interview was absolutely spot on.

I don't know if you've seen it, but he basically said, he said, I've got no expectation to play for England again, but I believe that if I can get myself a run of games, I'm still good enough to play.

And I think that's the exact attitude you should have.

He's not thinking, I'm going to walk straight back into this

this summer squad now or the the autumn you know the new nations championship in the autumn he's thinking get a run together for sale keep himself fit and if steve wants to see him as that option then he's making himself available do you mean michael checker or um
