A lot of those players have won and beaten All Blacks.

A lot of those players have won and beaten the Springboks.

And when they're on song, funny enough, I was watching the last 30-odd rucks against the All Blacks in the quarterfinal.

I mean, it was a really great rugby before Whitelock got that turnover.

And I think that's why the Leinster faithful are so... They're waiting with bated breath for that kind of...

that kind of sequence to occur over and over and over because those players are good enough to do it.

Look, I've just taken a bit of time off.

I've been helping a couple of schoolboy sides, helping literally from under 11 A's with a mate of mine whose son plays there to a couple of first 15s.

I've also had a bit of an accident.

I had a hip replacement, which wasn't great.

I fell and had to have a hip replacement.

wasn't great timing as in, you know, being taking time off and then getting injured.

But who knows?

Maybe it was, you know, meant to be.

But also from a distance, been watching with, you know, with interest on how the game's evolving, how it's changing, watching the finals.

I mean, I watched

Exeter-Bath game on the weekend with obviously, I mean, look how the game's changed.

I mean, who would have thought Exeter would have beaten Bath?

And then obviously, you know, the Bulls beating Glasgow, who beat us a couple of years in the final.

So, yeah, a lot of time and talking a lot to coaches like, you know, like Bernard and guys that are still in the game, Neil, and spending a bit of time also just helping referees.
