And yeah, I think they're hoping that they may broach the 10,000 crowd mark for Galway on Saturday evening, which would be a great effort all round.

I'm a big Eve Higgins fan.

I think she's a super player, but she didn't have her best game.

And it's what you would expect from a team that if you, you know, if you're not at your best and there's competition for places, and I think that's something that Scott Beeman emphasised again, is there is competition for places across a variety of positions.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's across every single position in the team, but that's what they're building towards.

So,

recognizing that is very important and i think that's something that he is looking for throughout the six nations tournament so you get your opportunity perform if you if you're not at your best then there will be other people to to kind of step up and step in

Yeah, yeah.

I think there's only one change to the Ulster starting line-up, and that's Sean Ruffell comes in for the injured Nick Timoney.

Leinster have changed it up hugely.

in relation to survivors so you look at hugo keenan gary ringrose were starters the last day no others and i think throughout the pack that is james ryan is the only starter in the pack so yeah uh changing up significantly and on the basis that they've got a couple of matches and then obviously they've got a champions cup semi-final against toulon um

at the start of May.

So it's an opportunity to give playing time to a wider expanse in the squad.

And also you see, obviously, Ed Byrne is back on a short-term loan from Cardiff.

So I think he's about 100, just over 100 caps for Leinster.

So his return will be welcome given the loose head prop crisis, if you like, at Leinster currently.

Looking at the team, obviously, Sam Prendergast's return to the 10 jersey will be closely scrutinised, you would say.

Players crave opportunity.

This is an opportunity.

You can't ask for anything else.
