I would say having a smaller crew there and a crew of people who are generally just, you know, there's a handful of us over here.
matched
but we're all rugby journalists who are on the beat week in, week out and are, you know, familiar with what's going on in Irish rugby and the people in Irish rugby.
matched
Yeah, I know what you're saying, but like the point I would make on it is I've been, I've been in that conversation with David Humphries in a room out in the high performance center in the IRFU offices where there is TV cameras at it.
matched
There's two, maybe even three times as many journalists at it.
matched
And it is actually a far more sterile atmosphere.
matched
I think, you know, the person sitting up at the top table is, is, you know,
matched
quite aware of the fact that there are two or three large TV cameras in front of them.
matched
I find people give a lot colder answers there.
matched
I think you might say it's a more cozy environment, but it's certainly a more intimate environment.
matched
And my experience of doing these chats, not just with David Humphries, but with players and everything, is that the person sitting on the table is a hell of a lot more relaxed when there's a smaller crowd and it's faces they know rather than TV cameras opposite them.
matched
Oh, but it's not the journalist's job to get a good answer.
matched
It's the journalist's job to ask the questions.
matched
If you don't like the answers, it's David Humphrey's fault.
matched
It's not the journalist's fault.
matched
Oh, no, I completely agree that the answers weren't satisfactory.
matched
That was my point.
matched
Sorry, I wasn't about you guys.
matched
But I'm saying if you hold that press conference in Dublin and it's an open invitation to everyone who wants to come along and ask questions, I don't think the answers are going to be any different to what was given last week.
matched
I think the answers that David Humphries gave last week were the answers that he was willing to give regardless of who asked the question.
matched
I would definitely agree with you that there's a lot we didn't get all answers on.
