how they develop they've still got sprinklings of world-class players like in key positions like Ardy Savea at eight and he's made him the captain Geordie Barrett at 12 and I think that they'll be an interesting watch and as much as Ireland are going to learn an awful lot about themselves next Saturday the All Blacks are going to learn a huge amount from an eight-match tour of South Africa including four tests that's going to be hugely beneficial for him they might not win every game but it's going to be hugely beneficial for them a year out from a World Cup
Well, little or no further clarification on the James Lowe despite repeated questions.
I mean, he just wouldn't go into the details of it.
He had a get out of jail card on Munster and all things Munster by saying there's a review going into that until the review is completed, be impertinent to comment.
So...
We, despite repeated questions there, we didn't get much out of him on those.
And the most revealing thing was, the two most revealing things, particularly one was to freely admit that he'd met with Ronan O'Gara.
They'd gone up to Belfast on the day that La Rochelle played Ulster last April.
And it was at the round of 16 of the quarterfinal of the Challenge Cup, I can't remember, and spoke to him and, quote, we talked about where his coaching ambitions were, unquote, which was quite revealing.
Maybe it was...
this Raj bone, you know, deflect attention from the other elephants in the room.
But anyway, of course, it was the clickbait.
People are fascinated by Ronan O'Gara, number one, and the possibility of him picking up at Leinster, number two, would be a source of enormous intrigue to all Leinster fans and indeed all Munster fans.
But it was revealing in the sense that
Humphs is a smart man.
He's an intelligent man.
And Rog is a smart man and an intelligent man.
And Rog wants the Irish job one day, no doubt.
That's the job I think he covets more than any other.
Humphs is smart enough to realise that he wants Rog back in the coaching system.
