And you see that with the kind of porn from people.
But just an incredible player on the pitch, you know, winning triple crowns and going on Lions tours.
But then that character off it.
And then the selfless acts, a bit like what you're doing with the charitable trust now.
you know thinking of the kind of next wave of players that aren't as fortunate as ourselves so yeah he's he's someone that'll be sadly missed and that's what you want to do you want to leave your mark on this and he certainly did it and everyone involved in his club and his family and friends were thinking of him like tell me 61 caps man back when it was hard to get a cap when you think of it like
Like, we were lucky we racked up a few caps, but that's because you're playing probably maybe close on 10 internationals a year.
Like, they were playing five nations, man, and they were lucky to, you know, get them.
And, you know, it's just quite remarkable.
I mean, that's something Donal Lennon was speaking at.

You know, rugby is to reveal characters.
And you know what I mean?
Like we mentioned there, he was magic both on and off the pitch.
And that's what we need a little bit more of.
I think we should champion the brilliant characters that we have in our game.
And I think we need to reflect them in it.
