But again, look, it's a big loss, obviously, to Leinster.

Big loss to Irish rugby, ultimately.

And yeah, I would have said yes.

And if you look at it with Bundy and those sort of guys, you probably want to get him to the next World Cup.

And then if he can go off and get another contract, it's probably after.

That's probably what he would have been looking for, especially at the age that he's at.

But again, listen, it's one of them things.

It happens.

I know something similar is kind of happening almost with Werner Koch up in Ulster as well.

And it was a real big push, a real big fan favourite.

Yeah.

And I know there's a little bit of disappointment, maybe not uproar, but disappointment that he obviously hasn't been able to stay on as well.

But these are all factors and things that are made by people above us and higher pay grades.

But listen, it's obviously disappointing for Irish rugby that it's happened this time for James.

But again, it just gives another opportunity for someone maybe to come through.

It is, but it just shows you the calibre of the man, too.

Like, I think he's obviously heavily invested in Irish rugby.

Yeah, look, I think, personally, it's great that he's obviously... He's going to be targeting massively what's happening next World Cup.

And then he might have just kind of went, you know what, the way the things are going, it's like, can we get ready for another cycle?

Can he be part of the rebuild?
