Ian Madigan

But, um, I've said on multiple occasions, maybe not on this show, but I've said it to people, whether it's Royal News and on comms, I think today's the day and it hasn't been, but I'll be saying it again on Saturday and hopefully it happens for me.

Yeah, and I think Bordeaux get over the line against Bath.

I think their wake-up call came last week.

So, yeah, I think Leinster-Bordeaux final.

I remember the intercept, unfortunately.

Ian Madigan probably won't be loving the whole build-up this week.

I'm sure that'll come up a couple of times.

But yeah, I think I remember watching any of those games.

They were an unbelievable two-long side.

I remember Leinster kind of always put it up to them and maybe fell short a couple of times.

But every moment is going to be huge.

You talk about winning as many duels as you can.

So as a winger, that might be a lot of high ball stuff, chasing kicks, receiving kicks, something that you're obviously going to put a massive emphasis on because the way the game has gone at the moment now, sometimes those contested kicks can bounce one way and it can be bouncing into someone's hand and that can be the deciding of a game.

So we know that as wingers in these pressure games, those semifinals, as you said,

There's a lot of onus on us, but that's obviously something very exciting as well, that you can be the one that can create something special.

Yeah, very good.

Delighted to be in.

Looking forward to the last 16 round.

And then leading very quickly into the quarterfinals.

So, yeah, trying to switch from Six Nations, brief, into the URC and now ready for the Champions Cup.
