But I would say one of the other reasons, obviously, that this briefing is happening in Australia where there aren't too many journalists at it,
matched
it is an incentive to, you know, it's, I don't want to say a reward, but it's something to give the journalists who've, you know, and the news outlets, the likes of ourselves, Irish Independent, 42.ie, Southern Times, Irish Times, people who've, you know, gone to great expense to send journalists over there to cover the stories, to give them a little something extra.
matched
Because, you know, we're in a time of journalism where,
matched
The amount of press traveling over to these things is getting smaller and smaller and smaller.
matched
And I think you do need to offer up something
matched
The answers might have been what people wanted, but that's probably why I would say it was a better place to have it.
matched
Yeah, just even one of the other points on it as well, as Birch kind of just said, was the frustration that we're only hearing from David Humphries once a year.
matched
That's something I definitely would agree on as well because when he first got the job, he was probably only a couple of months in.
matched
For the first just over a year or so, these...
matched
These briefings were happening once every six months.
matched
I remember he did one at the start of the Six Nations in 2024.
matched
Then he did one over in South Africa in the summer of 2024.
matched
Again, start of the Six Nations in 2025 or start of Six Nations in 2025.
matched
And then last summer as well.
matched
So the first few was going every six months.
matched
It's now been just over 12 months since we heard from him as well.
matched
So I do think if it was happening once every six months, that would be a little bit better.
matched
Because also you're having to cram in 12 months worth of storylines and 12 months worth of narratives and questions to fit in.
matched
And there's only so much you can kind of fit into in your half an hour or whatever it is.
matched
it'll be it's going to be Thursday morning New Zealand time so I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure it'll be released by by late late Wednesday night Irish time I think about 10.30pm Irish time is when we're expecting it to drop so that'll be half nine on Thursday morning in New Zealand so you should have it by late Wednesday night okay super stuff right looking forward to the match can't wait this weekend thanks Neil super right from myself Neil and the big fat bald head we'll talk to you next week
