What do you do with the first line out of the max?
So we're having this conversation and you think, right, do you go safe?
Do you go to the back?
It's like a game of poker as well.
It's like, well, are you going to bluff and kind of shape to go to the front and then throw to the back or...
So yeah, all the time, it's kind of trying to get the opposition to second guess what you're doing.
And that fraction of a second is vital, absolutely vital.
It's the difference between winning a ball and somebody getting a hand on it or nicking the ball in the air.
It's hair trigger stuff and there's pressure.
There's definitely pressure on it.
I thought what for me would be interesting as well is that I don't see Ireland competing enough on opposition ball at times.
I think that if you have to, again, it's kind of investing in that game of poker.
Sometimes you have to make them, you've got to put them under pressure a little bit as well.
And that's an area where I think Ireland don't do as much as they might do at times.
Yeah, I really liked and I admired about Ronan Kelleher and Tom Stewart is when they made... Let me say, when the line-out didn't function the way they wanted it to function, they continued.
Ronan Kelleher was very good around the pitch.
Tom Stewart was as well when he came on.
So...
The one thing that it didn't impact was their general performances, which is exactly, that shows character as well, because, you know, everybody focuses on your primary duty.
And if that's become an issue during a game, you can't let it affect the rest of your performance.
