When a stadium is refurbished and done up, the support base take a great amount of pride in it.

And I think it'll be a very atmospheric season at home for Leinster.

And they won't have had 14 players on a Lions tour.

I would like to say kind of a congratulation during your effective period on Leo Cullen, what he's done for Leinster Rugby.

His legacy, as you say, is enormous.

And I think that should be acknowledged.

But there's no doubt that there's going to be a long, long succession stakes now because...

We've got a year and the RFU and Leinster will be grateful for the year, but they won't necessarily be in a mad rush.

Yes, Noel McNamara will have to be one of those.

Interestingly, I think he's still under contract.

I presume there will be a get out clause for him if he was offered the Leinster head coaching role.

He has worked in the Leinster pathway.

He has been an underage coach in Leinster.

He has overseen the Leinster Academy.

He's carved an incredible CV with the Sharks and laterally Bordeaux Begley.

He's a great inside knowledge of Bordeaux Begley.

He's an incredibly intelligent, smartly intelligent man.

It would be interesting as well to have somebody come in from French rugby.

A little bit of a different outlook on particularly attack.

Nina Barth brought a very different outlook on defence.
