Let's be really honest, if France and Netherlands is a World Cup final, we're all thinking it's a very good final, aren't we?

Because they're going to be two teams that, in my opinion, are favourites going into, you would imagine that they bake the World Cup.

I think that you'd imagine both of them to be at the latter stages, if not trying to win it.

We're under no illusion.

Let's be really honest, we're the underdogs.

It's an Irish mentality that the nation loves.

We thrive off that.

Playing against the very, very best, competing against the very best, I think it puts us in a position to see where we are and challenge.

I've been at clubs and now here where we have to get the one percenters everywhere because we are coming up against some really strong composition.

We'll relish that and we'll look forward to it.

Yeah, very well, thank you.

Pleasure to be with you both.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think we were coming into a period where there was massive games to play and undoubtedly we wanted to finish the season.

We very much felt we were in that race and I think even Durham you could add to that mix because they had a part to play.

But obviously now it's looking increasingly unlikely and now we have to have a look at the sporting outcomes.

But it's a frustrating time, I think.

It came at the wrong time for us because

You know, like I just said, then Villa for us were coming into a tricky period.

They had to visit Leicester, who were coming into it with a bit of form.
