It's his own fault in that he's suspended.
But yeah, you'd want to heart a stone not to feel sorry for a guy like that who's soldiered with Ulster through the years.
So there's plenty of fans on the ground, Will.
There's a good Ulster contingent here, plenty of jerseys around.
And you know yourself from having been at Champions Cup finals over the years.
One of the great things about this weekend, like it's one of my favourite weekends of the year.
One of the great things about it is that you see all different jerseys of many different clubs.
It's a real...
It's a real kind of one in the calendar, I think, that rugby fans, no matter what team they support, they try and get to.
And especially when it's in a place like Bilbao that obviously rugby doesn't come around here too often.
So, like I said, I think it's going to be a brilliant weekend in Soar.
Yeah, I think the big calls, like you mentioned there, Will, Robbie Henshaw and Jamie Osborne, I imagine that that was a pretty tight call.
But I think we got a strong indication of what Leo Cullen was thinking when Robbie Henshaw got the nod ahead of Jamie Osborne for that two-long game.
Obviously, he was very unlucky.
He took a really heavy blow and was stretched off early on in that game.
I think Jamie Osborne probably hasn't been at his best maybe since the Six Nations.
Obviously he's jumping between full-back where he played so well for Ireland in the Six Nations and maybe just understandably so taking a little bit of time to readjust to the centre position which I do still think is his best position.
I think it makes sense to keep Rico Ioanni on the wing.
I think
by and large it's been pretty underwhelming the first sort of part of his Leinster stay but you'd have to say that he has really delivered in the last few games he's played particularly in the Champions Cup so big game player again it makes sense to play him I think it's incredibly harsh on
