We train on local pitches and play in packed stadiums.

We take on local rivals and we take on the world.

We push ourselves and we push each other to see what's possible.

We are the game.

Every player at every level.

We are rugby.

Energia, official energy partner of Irish rugby.

Think of the possibilities.

Absolutely.

And I think, you know, whatever it is, 18 months out from a World Cup, I think this is exactly what you want.

I think in the past we've seen Irish teams the year before a World Cup maybe hitting their peak and then when it comes around, they haven't been there, whereas it feels a little different now.

And I would echo a lot of what Mads said there.

I mean,

Tom O'Toole is Ireland's fifth-choice loosehead.

I think that's worth stressing.

To come into the tournament without your first three in terms of Andrew Porter, Paddy McCarthy and Jack Boyle, and then Jeremy Lachman goes down injured and Tom O'Toole is slotted in there.

Andy Farrell called him Ireland's double adapter last week after the game, which I really liked because I think when it comes to the World Cup selection next year,

I think having a prop who can play both sides of the scrum is going to be very, very useful.

And it looks like that's going to be Tom O'Toole now.

So, yeah, I agree with your point, Joe.
