I remember a few years ago when the Ireland Blairs were telling us, oh, there's a big performance coming.

Caelan Dorris, to be fair to him, has been adamant that a big performance was coming.

And you could say, you know, it's like, what else is he going to say?

But he was pretty adamant along

I loved the way Tommy O'Brien and Robert Ballacoon linked as wingers, both of them coming in off their wings, because I think

They would have been two players who might not on paper have fit the mould of an Andy Farrell untidy winger, but you could see the amount of times that they were off each other's wings, passing it to each other.

It was really encouraging.

So I'm optimistic that it will be the turning point.

I think the way the fixtures have fallen now, it's pretty nice.

And then you look at what's coming down the line in the summer when they're going to play Australia over there.

They're going to play in Eden Park against New Zealand and they're going to play against Japan.
