And the understanding of who's on your inside and who you're with your pods of three, you know, if you're with a tight row, tight front row forward, what are the, you know, what are the props you got to defend a little bit closer together when you're defending with a back row or with outside backs, maybe have a little bit more freedom to to kind of chase things a little bit more.

But I think from an attack point of view, I thought we saw some excellent stuff, some really good options.

Again, similarly to the Australians around, you know, those multiple options, you know, right at the line, being able to pick the right pass.

And it wasn't just the likes of Prendergast.

It was all of the backs.

Gary Ringrose threw a really nice pass to Conan, who threw that offload to Gibson Park.

So I thought...

huge bravery in going after that score just before halftime and as I said they carried that momentum into the second half when they were within touching distance it was only a one score game which they got very quickly in the second half and got themselves the lead so the thing about Andy Farrell teams is they know how to stay in the fight even when they're not going great they have ways of of

staying in the battle of finding a way to, to threaten the opposition, um, to give themselves a chance.

And then they're brave with it as well.

They don't take the easy option.

They don't go into their shells.

They go out and they express themselves and they, and, and, and they chase it down.

And I thought, yeah, some of the, some of the play was, was outstanding.

Um, and, and, you know, what a, what a great team score that was from the loop back inside from furlong to, um,

You know, the delayed pass from Ringrose and beautiful offload from Conan.

I suppose if you're an Aussie, you'd be saying, oh, maybe it was a little bit forward out of the hands.

If you're Irish, you're like, play on.

Good stuff.

So, yeah, I was really impressed with the gutsiness of the Irish performance.
