Versus the RDS with 15,000 in it is a brilliant rugby stadium.

I've asked around because even with the AIL, the AIL has had a real resurgence.

You look at the semi-final fixtures in St.

Mary's and in Clontarf and then the final itself and how well attended that was.

And I was kind of asking the question, is it because these players are more accessible or more relatable or the price point of those tickets is lower?

But I do get the feeling, even with my own friend group, that

the hype around even team selection this, this week with Leinster in, in previous years, you'd be looking down at notifications, you know, in the forties, fifties and sixties where it just hasn't been a whole lot said about it this week.

Um,

And yeah, maybe winning a semi-final helps that.

But I think the style of play that Leinster have played, the loss against Northampton, it all accumulates.

But there definitely is a piece there in winning back that fan sentiment.

And I think maybe moving back to the RDS is going to be a key part of that puzzle.

Yeah, I was really impressed with Robbie's performance up in Ulster, his best performance of the season.

And then you kind of couple that with Osborne, who...

by his high standards, was poor against Edinburgh and then was pretty poor at the weekend against Benetton.

So, it's close.

It wouldn't surprise me if they go with Robbie because he's just that steady hand with Gary and just shore up the defence a little bit.

I'd agree with Rudd.

I'd say they go with Rico.

Yeah,
