I mean, there was that one, I can't remember who he hit, but there was that one massive collision at one point against Japan.
And yes, Ringriss can provide that, but Ringriss provides that when he kind of shoots it by the line and hits the man behind the gain line.
Henshaw just kind of did it almost from a standing start right on the gain line.
It's like, oh, wow, okay.
We don't necessarily see that very often.
particularly from Ireland's centres.
Just looking elsewhere through the team, I tell you what, the line-out has not gone well in these two games, but I think with the extra lock and the extra specialist jumper in there with Byrne at six, I'm slightly less concerned about that, but I'd still be quite concerned about the scrum, given...
And, you know, Tom O'Toole is playing, not at a position, but playing in a position that he hasn't played in at Ulster.
And equally, you know, Jeremy Lachman is back on the bench.
Granted, I think Lachman probably doesn't get the credit he deserves as a scrummager.
But yeah, I think slightly less concerned about the line-out, given this team's selection, but still concerned about the scrum.
The line-out is interesting.
It's funny you say that, because against Japan, I just don't think they had enough option.
I mean, Jack Kona was playing six, and with the greatest of will in the world, as much as he's played a lot of six for Leinster, in particular with Doris at eight, he's not a specialist line-out jumper.
He can do it.
He can do a job there.
Equally so can Doris, but obviously Jansen isn't necessarily a line-out jumper.
So it was just the two locks for Ireland.
I take the point, but I think, you know, he's not, for example, he's not a Max Deegan, who's one of Leinster's probably bests.
line-out operator this season alongside Alex Soroka, but obviously Soroka didn't play necessarily in the bigger European games that Deegan did.
