Um some of the players in their 20s they decide aren't probably ready or good enough to maybe take that responsibility.

And there's weeks you're you're there.

I mean in Europe there was the thing.

They're back three is 36, 34, and 33.

I think Pico's come back from the World Cup where he was immense, hasn't been anywhere near it since.

I'm sure he'd admit that himself.

Um probably a hangover there just from the enormity of that.

And

Graham Burke, they're looked to be reliant on Graham Burke all the time.

Jack Byrne, who kicked a water bottle and threw something, they were substituted on Friday, clearly not happy.

They're just sort of reliant on like it's been a great era, an ongoing great era, they would say, for them.

They're still probably very reliant on players who were their best players in 222, 23, 24.

And it it's maybe that it's just a culmination of factors that they've they've just it's really caught up in them.

Now they do have an international break coming up, which might just give them a chance to reset, might be their saving grace.

Because I think if there was

a complete run of fixtures now, yeah, you you know, you'd you'd want to be playing them at the moment if you were a challenger.

Yeah.

Well the demeanour is and I suppose it it's great when you're winning, but it probably grates on people when you're losing.

There is that sense of well everything's fine.
