Like I know Game of Thrones, they filmed it in Northern Ireland before, but you haven't necessarily had Irish people starring in it.
You know, Kit Harington was the big character in Game of Thrones and I never made put two and two together, but now I wish I did because I had no idea that your man with that strange Irish accent starring in a Game of Thrones spinoff used to be a rugby player.
Because that 2016 group is quite often used as the modern gold standard with the 20s, you know, whenever inevitably Ireland struggles and people are moaning about lack of players coming through.
And, you know, people kind of look at how many players from each crop have come through, either to be top provincial players, provincial regulars, and then Ireland players.
That 2016 is kind of used as a yardstick, as a high point, because like you said, some of the names in there, I remember like Max Deegan was very prominent in that group, wasn't he?
You think you've been a bit harsh on Greg Jones there, considering his lengthy pro career with Ulster as well, as much as I'm sure... He would have said that as well.
Might be a little bit of knowing the audience there as well.
about it being a group that that really kicked on who's a lot of the constituents kicked on is very very true well keep an eye out for that this weekend 10 years since a pretty gold standard 20s generation for ireland and yeah always nice to kind of look back and the game of thrones thing is wild i just never made that connection i didn't watch the show but i knew of it and i definitely didn't know your man was a you know in and around that setup which is gas
I'll continue my chat with John O'Sullivan after the break.
right 10 years on Ireland in the 20s John they like I said they look to be I don't know whether it's a better team better coached or just in better form than last year's disappointing run they play England on Saturday is their first game correct correct and who else have they got in their group
Okay.
What's the expectation for this group?
I mean, we'll run through some of the runners and riders in terms of names to keep an eye on in a few moments.
But just generally speaking, is this one of the more confident groups going into a competition like this?
Obviously, that first game is critical against the Six Nations rival.
What are we expecting here?
Runners and riders, I think everyone will remember Josh Neal from that Six Nations, the Cape Town-born youngster.
I think, am I right in saying he's got another year on the 20s after this?
He's playing young, back row supremo, scored tries, was a line-out option, was a jackal threat, just highly rated back in South Africa, came over with a bit of pedigree when Leinster managed to get him.
His older brother is an international cricketer for Ireland, so clearly there's been a family push
