Because there's no doubt, playing Ulster in Ulster is as tough as playing Leinster in Leinster.

And playing Connacht in Connacht is as tough as playing Leinster in Leinster.

So...

So, yeah, I've often thought about that.

I think that one of the things, Leinster is the benchmark.

And I think all that people on the other side of Ireland are doing is say, can't you help us be like them?

And I've got no doubt that it can happen.

I've got no doubt that it can happen, you know, because people...

I mean, look what Werner Koch did at Ulster.

Look what Rob Greener did at Ulster.

Look what Johan Mulder did at Ulster.

Look what Trevor Halstead did at Munster.

Look what Dougie Haldit did at Munster.

So my point is, it's been done before.

And again, for not one minute, Bernard, I'm not for one minute telling David Humphries.

I'm just saying.

I've been there.

I would think that, imagine if you could give the Dougie Howletts and the Trevor Halsteads to Munster now, and you could give the Juan Pienaars and that to the Ulster team, and you could give all the good conduct players they've had, you know, plenty that they've had in that thing.

I mean, imagine the standard of the training sessions and the balance of all the powers that would be there.

And let's be fair, the happiness of the supporters for the Irish team, because that's what they want to see, you know.
