He's helped to find his form with Richie Murphy.
So, yeah, he's been told just get the ball, go find the ball, go have fun.
So when you've got that kind of easy remit, you can flick it back on.
Once he's happy, once he's confident, he's not being rushed back and he's happy, he's fit, he's angling to go, it'll just be like turning on a hot tap.
The way Ulster play and you look at even, you know, when they're losing last week, it's funny.
I would say teams cannot find a way to get ready for Ulster because on paper, you look at them and you go, they're not a good team.
But the way they're playing, the style they're playing is really, really good.
And it's very effective.
So even though their biggest challenge is going to be on Friday night is actually to score points.
Oh, completely.
But that's going to happen.
I think you have to accept, if you're Ulster, you have to accept that Montpellier are going to get penalties.
They are going to score.
There's no point in being naive in the preparation for games and saying, oh, we're not going to let them score a ball, right?
You have to plan to...
to defend as best you can.
But the reality is they are going to likely score.
Because if Ulster spend so much time trying to stop that, they're going to get the balance wrong and they're going to not have enough time to attack what they have.
So, what has been Ulster's real strength this year has been transition, has been the continuity today and has been scoring points.
