We get to a point where we see something, a bit of injustice, and it could have been, it didn't have to happen, but because World Rugby or European Rugby were in charge of tournament, aren't in front of it, now they're chasing it.

And this makes no sense to me that a TMO who's going to make key decisions around the outcome of the game doesn't have access to all the information available to them.

But we've seen this for years and now it's come to the fore because of a couple of incidents.

So I'm not shocked, but no, I expect what will happen is that European rugby will have to step in and say, this is what we want and let's go forward, this is what has to happen.

But not before time, might you?

No, yeah, it's been obvious for years.

I mean, people just put their hands in the air, the French just shrug, you know.

But it's been going on, I've noticed that for years.

Probably it's more, it's coming to the forefront more now because the TMO interventions are more frequent and they're actually a bigger part of the game.

Before that, TMOs firstly didn't exist and secondly, when they did come in, they were very limited.

So now the TMO is thrown more front and centre now, so there's going to be more incidents and there's going to be more need for proper exposure of what's happening on the field, and then we get into this over and back about it.

Yeah, I think, to be fair to Richie and to Ulster, they look like a happy team at the moment, if I want to put it that way.

They're playing...

with a smile on their face.

They're having a go.

They're full of energy.

And they're playing a great brand of rugby.

They're getting to the edges.

They've got strength on the wings.

They have power in the middle of the field.
