I think we see with Wales, with Clacky Georgia 10, they're probably on stats the most kicking team in the competition.
But what they offer there, we've seen in matches where they struggle, is that they can't quite get the territory game that Ireland can get.
A lot of teams, we've seen it with France putting her under pressure, with Pauline Bourdon-Sensu charging at her.
It takes a hell of a lot of distance often.
And then unfortunately, because I think Wales, in terms of the conditioning piece, they're probably not as dynamic a pack as Ireland are.
Or other teams like your France's or your England's, that they find themselves struggling to negate the counter-attack that comes from those kind of loose kicks.
So where she's a massive kick threat for them.
I think they probably put a bit too much emphasis on it to actually be able to implement a game plan off it successfully.
And I think Ireland will be looking to put massive pressure on her because if we can nullify her game plan, we saw two years ago down in Cork, if you can nullify that game plan, Wales really do struggle to kind of get firing and get a bit of traction in their game plan.
So yeah, it's definitely going to be an interesting one this weekend.
And as you said, they're not going to lie down and take it.
They will come and they will stay in the fight for the full 80 minutes.
And it's up to Ireland to be able to play their game plan and be able to do all the good things that they've done in the first couple of rounds.
and kind of kick it on from there to finish well.
Yeah, it will.
Like I said, Beth and Lewis...
You know, she's kind of been a stalwart for Wales the last couple of years and gets the nod as captain now in kind of the absence of Kate Williams.
But themselves, I think there's a few of them in there that all love a jackal.
It's kind of their trademark of where they're back rowers.
You're always going to meet physical back rowers, love getting stuck in.
