I think as it stands, the plan is for him to go back to Ireland at the end of the week to be involved in that Ireland 15 game against England A on tomorrow week on Friday in Thoma Park.

But if he's going as well as it sounds like in these early stages, yeah, I think he's certainly one to be watching as well.

Yeah, and from what I hear, Will, he actually had a very lucky escape in terms of finding it, you know, the issue when he did that he could have been looking at

you know, even worse problems.

So I think fair play to all the medical staff who picked up on that, you know, relatively early so that he could get the medical attention that he needed.

But yeah, completely shocking.

I mean, if anyone hadn't heard, he pulled out of Lara Shell's top 14 game at the weekend in the warm-up.

He was due to play in that.

I think he would have been playing against Ireland next week as well.

I think particularly because all the issues around Ireland's scrum wheel that we've just outlined, the success that he's had against Ireland, whether it's been with La Rochelle against Leinster or Munster, I think Galthier would have been very tempted to start Wini Antonio.

So that's how relevant he still is.

I think you're right.

I think if we were to talk to La Rochelle fans, I think they would probably say he's been their best ever player purely because he's been there from the start and their rise, like you said, and

Funny you should say that, you know, you've never heard him speak.

I actually met him and interviewed him at the 2015 World Cup when Ireland played France in that pool game.

I remember it was in the Vale of Glenmorgan where the Welsh rugby team are based.

And honestly, I've never seen a human as large.

I know I just spoke there about how big a dog bow is up close and personal.

Weenie Antonio.

is just a different level altogether.
