And I think Leo is...
I don't know if it's just his style of speaking, but there's a kind of confrontational edge where he's always asking the question back, like, we're under pressure, aren't we?
Like, it's the way it goes, isn't it?
You know, and I think there's kind of, like, it's almost, it feels more confrontational than it used to be.
But to be fair to Leo, like, he's always been very level-headed in how he kind of recalls the game, whether he takes notes very well or he can recall it very well.
He always has a logical response, but there's a little bit of...
There's a little bit of spikiness after coming in this year and I think he's just sick of, do you know what, maybe it's going through the system and they're having to repay some of their central contracts and they're a victim of their own success and there's a bit of bitterness I think creeping in because of that and maybe they feel their hands are tied behind their back and reaching that fifth star through the IRFU and everything else but speculation, obviously it's very clear there's pressure there and there's a lot going on behind the scenes.
no we've actually spoken about it on car con buses with a couple of the backs going Jesus look what he's coaching like and to be fair now we had a nice run of training against the Irish under 20s in car con around that Christmas window where they come down and play development games and stuff like that and I remember Noel bringing the team over and so well structured lovely fella to speak to afterwards and you know when you see an Irish coach going over to a club like that with star power and keeping them under control having a bringing an edge to their attack like we're all very happy for a fella like that aren't we yeah oh definitely yeah
Yeah, I don't know if you've heard about him, a young prospect in Irish rugby.
But I have been speaking about him because, and I'm no talent ID expert, but Brad, I suppose, we played against Armagh and we had James McNabney and Jude Possilweight destroying us in various moments in games.
And like that, it's very similar to...
Neil, what you said about McCluskey, his ability, actually, if you said, you know, he wouldn't coach them.
McCluskey's coaching Jude Possilway and they have to do it with the same frame, you know, maybe a small bit more speed.
I'm not sure.
I wouldn't like to put them on the starting gates, but Jesus, like a carbon copy, the ability to offload out of contact was one where he was kind of nearly on the ground and the ball just popped out.
And those kind of long levers that you see from McCluskey, like the twin towers inside in the midfield and the ball just coming out, you know, two or six or four each or whatever they are.
But McCluskey can win that contact because he's about 150 kilos, isn't he?
he's well up above 110 and that's why he's winning contact and going in quite high but I think Pastelveit is in a similar vein he's quite tall and rangy but he's the same on the defensive side of the ball he's well able to get in over a breakdown and cause a lot of trouble that's where I was like Jesus will this fella leave my ball alone that's why he started speaking about him so yeah I'm going to keep I'm going to keep speaking about him I think because I actually love watching him play I think there's a lot of threat in that Ulster midfield and
And another one that absolutely bypassed me, I've seen Jack Murphy play since he was in Clontarf and I saw some headlines and a couple of articles last night, the 21-year-old, and I was like, Jesus, this is frightening.
Like a 21-year-old and he's so many games under his belt.
