And I think that's probably come from a men's game perspective with the restructure of the IAL that happened.
A huge amount of people that wouldn't have, as Hugh said, that probably wouldn't have got on with each other from an administration perspective.
be it, you know, Lansdowne and Wanderers talking to each other, but everyone kind of clubbed together to kind of not, I wouldn't say stop, but definitely get everyone's opinion across the IRFU about what was needed.
There was talk of
cutting the numbers down in the top two divisions and trying to create, which they kind of have, but they say they haven't, in like a kind of an intermediate section.
And I think that's kind of galvanized the clubs and really pushed the AIL as an entity to push themselves out there.
So most teams will stream all their games live.
They'll have the club scene podcast.
The lads do a great job.
Really good listenership to that.
The crowds are getting bigger.
And there is a kind of push.
Stakeholders in the AIL really want to push to show the quality that's there.
So I think the restructure has been good in that sense that it's really...
pushed the clubs to be better and to show the IRFU, because they disagreed with a lot of what the IRFU wanted to do and they stopped some of it.
But they've also, they still have very much disagreed with some of the restructure now, kind of drawing a line across the country and going north and south.
you've teams like Scaries that you know I spoke to someone from Scaries a couple of weeks ago and they're like look we're going to enjoy playing in the Ulster Junior League because all of their clubs are up there like Sligo that they're trying to do it from a to stop travel but then there's two or three clubs that are going to be travelling more because they're going to be playing in other provinces either right down south or right up north so but I do from my experience I think 1A and 1B
Particularly 1A is in a rude health.
You see last weekend, Turn Your Marys was an all-ticket affair.
It was absolutely jammed.
