I mean, at the end of the game this weekend, at the end of the Six Nations, Varel will have used 34 players.
Darren Murray, I think we have to call him Murray or else our Roscommon listeners will be given out.
Sorry, are they from Roscommon or the south of France?
It's Murray.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I don't think they like that.
Having spoken to them, I think they like to call it Maree.
Okay, I'll go with it.
Pronounce it Maree.
But he'll become the 34th player to have featured in the Six Nations, the 11th player to have made a Six Nations debut as well.
Like, that's an awful lot of inexperience that you've kind of brought in throughout the team.
And like you said, Joe, to still be in with a chance of winning a Triple Crown, to still potentially be within a chance to win the Six Nations title, I think it's to Farrell's absolute immense credit.
And it goes back to...
A couple of years ago, like you think back to when Jamie Osborne was picked to play at fullback down in South Africa and no one saw that coming.
So I think Farrell has had the long game in mind here and it's certainly paying off and you would hope that it will pay off more importantly next year as well.
I think we know what to expect from Scotland, and Mads has just outlined it there in terms of their attack.
That's nothing new.
Their attack has been excellent for the last couple of years, and if anything, it's gotten better because I think Finn Russell is playing the rugby of his career.
I think the two centres have been outstanding, but
For me, the biggest thing I took from the French game, in a way, was how much their pack stood up to France and did a number on them.
