It's very, very evident, I think, by what style both teams will play.
So, you know, the key thing then is going to be who shows up and who delivers on the game plan.
Because both game plans, I think, will be effective.
And then, obviously, we hope for a barn burner, as you'd say, of a game where both teams may be playing well and maybe having a fairly high-scoring match.
That would be the ideal scenario for all the supporters going to the game and everyone watching.
So yeah, watching it closely, I think I'm excited about it.
I'm not sure I love the week off, but I do get it actually.
I'd never really thought of Keane's kind of point around allowing an extra week for the South African team.
I do think that's sensible actually.
My original thought was, oh, I'd like to keep the momentum going when it's fresh in people's minds.
But yeah, I can't wait to see what unfolds.

the Aviva Stadium rather than Croker.
You know what I mean?
Not that, obviously it's unbelievable, but it's just too big probably for a fixture like this until you generate the interest.
It feels like you, you know, 45 or 45,000, 50,000 people in Aviva is, you know, pretty much a full house, you know, and you'd get a good atmosphere then.
So that's another element that probably hasn't really helped over the last couple of weeks where like, you know, 10,000, 11,000 into the RDS, you know, it would feel loud in the RDS.
You know, what is it, 18,500 was the capacity beforehand, you know, so you probably wouldn't be, you probably, and I, sorry, my sense is that if it was in the RDS,
