Tide Furlong has been an incredible servant for Irish rugby for the last 10 plus years but again I don't know what his injury profile is like I would say he will be used sparingly over the course of this year with a view to his priority is very much getting to the World Cup next year if you can pick up a medal along the way with Leinster playing in a handful of games fantastic but I would envisage that it's
not quite cotton wool treatment but it's about playing when fully fit and get him to a position because we know that he can play with limited game time he's shown that and so he's not he's got so many miles on the clock if he works hard at training he has that muscle memory to be able to kick back in to know what is expected of him and for him to deliver on the big stage so that's not a concern I suppose it's just having back up
to that, knowing what is on the loose head side and the quality, as you said, coming through.
So it might make sense.
Maybe Porter wants to do it as well.
Maybe he sees his long-term future there again, but also having a versatile
versatile player that has the capacity to play both sides in any squad is a real boon to a team.
There's been difficulties between Finn Russell and Gregor Townsend going back a little while.
Catastrophic news for Scotland.
1998.
Yeah, it was I was 19 years of age, and I remember coming into cam.
I cannot tell you how much I was shitting myself.
Um, you um yeah, it's a dream, and like because my progress was very different.
I wasn't didn't excel anyway really in school, not the way Gordon Darcy did, and you know, I hadn't played for
And then all of a sudden I was kind of catapulted into a into a national squad kind of out of nowhere.
Um so I I remember coming up and and the thing is, and it it probably had an impact on me, you know, after that when I became a senior player and and making sure that you know new players who come into the squad feel welcome.
But I remember going for the first meal and um
And not knowing where to sit.
And like you're like, do I sit my own on my own table?
Or and I remember Kevin Mags, who who subsequently became a center partner for me for you know 35 or 40 tests, was the first person to beckon me over and and say, come on over and sit down with us.
