it's modest enough in terms of a drain.

It wouldn't really be a drain.

You would describe it as a drain.

It's not even a trickle.

So, yeah, I think it's just, you'll always have, it's down to an individual rather than anything else.

And like I say, I think Noah's Gaelic football background would have been something that would have drawn him to the attention of the Aussie rules people over here in Scouts.

And that would have been the catalyst, if you like, for him to move.

It wasn't the fact that Noah was a rugby player playing under 20s, international rugby that made them

or informed them of his ability.

They were aware of his ability when he was in fifth year in school.

Yeah, it's correct.

Yeah, that is him.

So yeah, very, very quick.

And like I said, it's not as if Leinster wanted him for the academy.

So he would have been somebody that would have got an academy contract.

As we speak, actually, Leinster, they haven't released it, but they have seven players left.

And I'm sure he would have been number eight.

So they've settled on seven players, which they haven't announced yet, for their first year intake in the academy.

Six of them are forwards and there's just one back, Charlie Maloney.

You would want to see, like, from his perspective, obviously, we've a little bit of vested interest in the sense that I know his mum.
