I just say on that with the rugby I was talking to a couple of people from Telegraph there yesterday about the format of the European Cup and the Prem are looking into a way to make it more exciting completely at the envy of the football at the minute and it seems to have the backing of the URC and the French League to do so maybe the back of the original format that they had was quite good yeah the last time this happened it didn't end so well why did they move do we know why they moved from the original format is it a bit like we don't know why they moved off the Hooter
It was the English Premiership and the French League wanted to... Fewer games.
Yeah, I had known that Jule Postlewaithe was in the Ireland squad because I saw him in the airport.
He's six foot four, he's a big lad as well and in his big green Ireland jacket obviously with the rest of the squad.
Yeah, you'd imagine by Sunday the decision was made there.
We should have talked about it.
31st.
So obviously the big thing is that it's an Irish referee which has really peed off the IRFU.
Which is fair enough.
Like you'd
Bundy is pissed off the IRFU even more because we have very few referees who are world class standard this is the thing you don't want to be going after the only few referees we have you only really have Andrew Brace
I'm starting to name referees now, but there's not a whole pile.
Yeah, that's happened.
It won't be class, yeah.
It's done.
Why is it too late?
Well, it's already suspended to four.
Yeah.
I would be very surprised if they recalled him into the squad after it as well.
I don't know.
