So you're seeing that reflected in the selection, which is fair play again to Farrell.

Hats off to him.

I think the Tom O'Toole discussion is... I think this could be his shift in his career because...

It's definitely, well I'll put it this way, it's much easier to move from tight head to loose head.

Extremely difficult from loose head to tight head.

And in the modern game it's been thus.

Let's not forget the famous Peter Clossie started as a tight head for Ireland, ended up finishing his career at loose head when John Hayes came into tight head.

Andrew Porter was a tight head, moved to loose head.

So this is not unprecedented.

It's not new territory.

And O'Toole may very well turn out to be Ireland's number two loosehead.

You don't know how that plays out.

Again, big opportunity for him.

And I would say it's unlikely you'll see props going the other direction.

So to me, it's not a snap your head back moment that Tom O'Toole is playing loosehead.

And it's a great test for him.

If he comes through this, it's more depth in the squad.

He can play both sides.

It's just, again, broadening the base of your player skill set to go in the smart move by Farrell to do this.

We'll know on Saturday, actually, if Doug gets a good 20 minutes into the game and he gets a good rattle.
