RTÉ Rugby Podcast · URC Grand Final special with Jake White and Bernard Jackman · 17 Jun 2026 podcast

We went to Biarritz.

Remember, we spent three weeks in Biarritz and we used Biarritz as our home base.

And we then went from there and we beat Glasgow and we beat Munster from Biarritz.

I probably would have asked for the same, to go to Biarritz, base ourselves there, you know, there in the sun, be close enough with a quick flight over to Dublin.

Also probably would have helped with a bit of

with team spirit and a little bit of focus on the final.

Again, as a player, that doesn't always go well because players are going to go away with the box and then they're away for another two months and they go away another two weeks.

And that is the thing.

I suppose that's changed.

In the old days, the players would have said, let's stay for two weeks.

Now, if you ask certain players, they'd want to go home, spend time with their families, because the fact is that literally when they finish the final,

They've got a two, three-month window of test rugby where they're not going to be able to either.

So it is a dynamic that's changed.

And I said that I would have done that.

I would have recommended that.

But I'm not sure, Bernard, that I would have got it over the line because, as I said, with the amount of spring box to box I've got this year and the ones that are in the camp and probably will be involved, maybe that dynamic is a little bit different to what it was a couple of years back when no one was involved.

I must say, I don't really know why they did it, Neil.

I mean, I'll tell you why I say that.

Because, I mean, two weeks sounds, you know, you have two weeks to prepare, which is a good thing.

But, you know, at the end of the day, they were in Europe, they could have played.
