You know, we saw it for Babe and Parsons third try in Galway.
That was peak Ireland just playing heads-up rugby.
And I think in that second half of this game this weekend, I'd like to see Ireland do the same.
That when the bench comes on and when everything happens, that yes, we can keep it in the structure, but also be able to play our own bit of flair and put our kind of attacking game into an area that it doesn't have to always be perfection, pod, pod, or like getting to the width.
We've seen it at times in those games against the likes of the Englands and the Frances that we sometimes...
are trying so hard to get to width that we lack that shape or lack that punch through the middle.
So a bit of variety from Ireland to mix in with Dana's kicking or whoever gets the nod at 10.
But yeah, it would be nice to show a bit of variety in our attacking game, I think, as we go through the depths of these two rounds to come.
having something like the Dex Cam on Saturday and just even the brand of rugby that the girls are playing it's so exciting to watch now and they really are obviously they've talked about their green wave and they are riding that crest of the wave with the performances they've put in since the kind of the WXB1 competition where they beat the Black Ferns and then going into the World Cup it's just
brought the whole country on with them.
And, you know, as a primary school teacher of girls, my fifth class girls, they are way more aware of everything that's going on.
And there'll be a big cohort of them coming to the Aviva on Sunday as well as testament to they're more aware of it happening around them.
They're more aware of the Irish women's rugby team compared to, you know, 10 years ago when people mightn't have been aware of it.
But it's just, as you said, that visibility, the match being televised, that people can see it.
And, you know, hopefully the many young girls that come on Sunday to hear in the Aviva to watch us and the men's game.
And those who can watch it at home will really see that, you know, this looks like good fun.
This is something you can get involved in with your local clubs.
And there's so many more local clubs out there growing grassroots rugby.
So it's huge.
It's all part of the jigsaw, right from the national team all the way down to club rugby and below that for the minis and the youth sections.
