It's really exciting and I think it's about now building on that.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a fair point, but from what it was... I accept that.

And it was one point as well worth mentioning is

It was raining when I was there yesterday and I was down in the clan terrace where the diehard Connacht supporters are going to be standing.

And unfortunately, with the way the wind blows, you're still going to get wet because even though the roof goes over you, the wind just blows in.

They couldn't just build a glass box around it for everyone to keep them protected.

But that is something that maybe some people will be perhaps surprised with when they're there because it was quite windy and rainy as it is now today as well yesterday.

I was kind of thinking, yeah, they can't really control the weather though as well.

Well, there are prevailing wins.

It's a good start.

It's a good chance, sorry, to kickstart everything.

And it could go one or two ways.

And, like, my perception of the outs are looking in is that I wonder if Lancaster is trying to do too much too soon.

We know that he's one of these rare coaches who coaches both sides of the ball in terms of attack and defence.

But, like, Connacht brought over Rod Seab from Australia as attack coach initially.

but we know that Lancaster is a de facto attack coach as well, so I'm not sure what the balance there is, but I think it will, I think it will come right.

They've just announced the signing today as well, Joe, of an experienced South African prop from Bath, Francois Van Vecq, who I think will be a big, big help to their scrum next season.

So,

If they were to lose this weekend, I think it's worth mentioning that it's unlikely that Leinster are going to be fully locked and loaded because I think a lot of their Ireland players have probably maxed out their games now and they're going to be wrapped in cotton wool before that France game.
