And I mean, in your day, and I say it often to players your time in South Africa,

If you didn't play well for Leinster, you didn't play for Ireland.

Yeah.

So you're almost indebted to Leinster for getting you the Irish international team, you know?

And you would do anything in your powers to play well for Leinster.

You'd strap your ankle if it was sore.

You'd call the doctor if you had a niggle.

Now it's changed.

That whole dynamic's changed.

As soon as you don't pick a play, he looks for an overseas contract.

If you put heat on him because he's now managing himself, then you've lost him because your people skills aren't as good as they should be or whatever the story is.

And so the art or the skill or the dynamic of being a provincial coach is very different now.

Very, very different to what it was in the old days.

You know, your provincial coach, I think it would have been Michael Chekka or Dick Lewis, Michael Chekka.

I mean, you knew exactly where you stood with him.

You didn't play well.

You didn't get picked.

You didn't go to Ireland.

And so I just feel, again, as I said, what we need back is that base back in South Africa.
