But there has to be.
Nobody listening to provincial previews wants to hear it, but there has to be.
The World Cup is massive for Ireland.
It's massive for Andy Farrell and it's massive for this group of players because there's so much talk for decades at this stage about Ireland and the World Cup and winning that quarterfinal.
And this time it's right there for them.
As much as Leinster are fascinating, as much as there's so much going on and other problems, the World Cup is the big story of the year for Irish rugby.
That's the way that, rightly or wrongly, that's the way the game here is set up.
The international team drives everything.
And this is a massive, massive, at this stage, 12 months, 13 months for the international team.
You list off those players now and...
It feels to me that compared to four years ago, we always had these conversations about Johnny Sexton.
What would happen if Johnny Sexton got injured going into a World Cup?

But it kept happening.
You talk about Andy Porter, I think he turns 31 during the season.
So he'll be 31, nearly 32 going into the World Cup.
He's such an important player.
