You need his size and his bulk to be able to hang in there.

And there was lots of instances last night that I was watching it going, we're in big trouble here.

And, oh, wow, Jesus, Stu's done really well to keep his feet there or to keep the ball alive or to...

to soak up the pressure and we've been able to survive another phase.

And then he went through his own kind of hot spell for about part of that kind of 15 minutes and showed what he can do when the team does get fun football.

But taking on a side like England and Twickenham, you need a big body at 12 and someone who has the ability to keep their feet and be a good decision maker.

For one of the weaker teams,

To be honest, I don't even think we have that luxury now.

I think we've just got to play our best side in all of these games.

Otherwise, we have the potential of getting beaten in one of the games at home.

So I'm not sure the coaches will look at that as an option.

Yeah.

Look, there's, there's those in that, um,

First thing I'd say is there isn't loads of players tearing up trees.

Yeah.

Like, you know, someone like Joshua Kenny, who has done really well with the opportunities he's got for Leinster.

But look, he's still very raw.

And we've seen that in some of the Champions Cup games that he's played.

Yeah.

I think the expectations for this Irish team need to be realigned.
