Yeah, yeah, completely.
And I think, but that's when I think, you know, your peer group needs to respond to that.
Yeah, because it's not like whatever big tackling, you understand somebody is not a good defender.
You make allowances for that and you get onto it.
But that's something where you can't actually tip them.
You can't actually just have a...

bumped into Roland Dunne at the match.
We just had a chat and the post-rugby thing came up and he was just talking about a couple of players that he's spoken to over the years that their kids never knew anything about them as...
rugby players because they had no rugby memorabilia whatsoever in their house and I had a similar chat with Les Kiss when he was when he came to Ireland as the defence coach Les Kiss is a legend in NRL and
And he said one of his regrets was when his kids actually came back to him and went that I never knew how good you were because he had nothing in the house.
And he'd never really talked about his achievements or whatever in rugby.

So one of his friends, his son's friend said to him, I was just watching clips of your dad.
It was unbelievable.
So I would probably have fallen into that category had I been left up to myself.
So it's a long-winded answer now, but there's very little rugby memorabilia in the house.

So there you go.
Lennon was like, he was there, what age were you when you wore it?
