The thing there is, Nathan, that unlike their Ulster counterparts, the Connacht boys, they're going to be exposed to Champions Cup rugby next season, which is a factor in their development because as Andy Farr reminded us afterwards and Illo and Bowen would have discovered that in a few of the carries they made, they were going to stop dead.
Playing Japan in a test match, even in a stadium that's only one third full in Newcastle, Australia, is still a big step up from the URC.
Like Illo's never played or Bowen has never played a game of Champions Cup rugby, much less the test match before last Saturday.
No, no, it was all good natured.
And Eddie was saying, he said he told Illo that he was just standing up for his boys.
Then when he walked past, he said he made some compliment to Illo.
I can't remember the exact words, but, you know, he made some compliment.
It was all good.
It was all good.
Very good natured.
Oh, mixed zones should always be like this.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

They all came in at the behind, only thrown through a bucket of water or something over them and celebrated, interrupted the press conference that day as well.
No, we went along to it.
There was a Dave Rennie press conference today, so we went along to that, which kind of the good early Monday gauge of kind of the mood.
And there's no doubt about it.
