So from Mike McCarthy's pre-match with Leo the Lion, the flames going off, and they had this kind of a chant from across the Tannoy.

And I was like, oh, it's a bit contrived.

But then I looked around and all the kids were like...

every time it came on.

So I was like, actually, it's actually really well done.

It is about, sometimes you can kind of get, you forget that it is about fan engagement and having, you know, enjoying as well as the rugby on the, on the field.

And I just thought it was, it was really well done.

Our kids had an absolute blast.

So I'd say there was probably eight to 10, so 9,000 people there at the, it's probably what it looked like and felt like that would have been a much better atmosphere in the RDS.

Any stadium that's half empty.

Like when you used, we used to go to the Ospreys and, you know, there'd be

2,000 people in a 18,000-seater, you're just like a bit crap.

I would have preferred to play in a sold-out Donnybrook back in the day with 5,000 people rammed into it.

When you hear noise, you get the thing.

I think that makes a big difference.

And obviously the kids' pricing tickets and everything was good.

And for a match that had very little on the line,

you know, they score tries and like, and again, that's all, that's all the kids, that's all the kids kind of cared about.

At a point or two, there was like, like Lennon coming around to me and he was there, like he's there, you know, this is, this is a lot closer, you know, should Leinster be further ahead?

And I was like, yeah, they should be, but they're not there yet.
