The Irish system is, it is what it is.

So that is never changing.

And Leinster are still the main driver for the national team.

Most of the players of interest across the country, like how many players are going to Connacht from Leinster?

Three, maybe four.

They're not locally developed players, but they're going to thrive in the system with Connacht and it's good for Connacht as well.

But you only have your players, if you are the Leinster coach, you only have your players for limited time and limited access for them for

for games um and you can see what leo tried to do over the last couple of weeks was to play them get them hardened in in tougher games and i think that did stand to them but you just have to wonder then is this is the champions cup is it moving out of uh out of touch the overseas talent recruitment has to be better for lenster i don't know as rg is probably there next year

So let's assume he comes back and is available.

I think whoever the back is, I'd say, you know, as Ricky Iwane hit the same level of comparative impact as Jordi Barrett, probably not.

And you're looking at that going, there is an absolute need for a key player for next season.

So they're not replacing, there's no back coming in?

So obviously if... Yeah, but like, this has to be set up again.

There has to be...

Leinster are going to be a poorer team than next season in the back line.

So something has to change.

You have to change the way they're being coached or the way they're thinking about the game or you need to add some, you need to add some quality in there.

Well, whatever they're doing, it's not working.

And I think...

I would say the Neenambar and Blenndal combination has not worked.
