He actually had a good season for the Brumbies.

But yeah, it's not a position of strength, certainly.

But...

Yeah, they just have to hope that Angus Bell can... I mean, normally they like to break Bell off the bench because he's fairly explosive, but they're not really in a position of huge depth there.

No, it was actually my beloved Ulster.

Oh, it was the Ulster one.

Yeah, so Massimo De Lutis, who is an absolutely huge unit, but I think, you know, tight head props.

It's so, so hard to get someone who's kind of almost at the perfect part of their development.

And yeah, I mean, he's an incredibly strong player.

He's very, very raw, but...

I think after losing Finlay Beelum, who obviously has kicked on and had a very, very good career in Ireland, they didn't want Lightning to strike twice, so they signed him up, I think.

Great work by his agent.

But I do think that...

It was actually a very light possibility from what I've heard.

I think he was very, very interested, but they sold the dream of potentially representing Australia in the World Cup.

I think, yeah, I mean, James Lowe is one player.

And I think the one they're really delighted not to see is former Canberra native Matt Hanson, who just tore them to ribbons.

But I think, yeah, I was just at the press conference earlier with Andy Farrell and that was one of the questions the travelling Irish media continued were asking about Jamie Osborne and Peter O'Reilly from the Sunday Times.

He asked, you know, is there a fear that

his versatility could actually conversely count against him because, I mean, I think he, I, I'm pretty sure that he can play every position relatively soundly apart from nine.
