As much as we're talking about Bowen, are we expecting Tom O'Toole starting loose heads or Tom O'Toole-Lachman as the one-two combination there at loose heads?
Yeah, I would expect that.
Yeah, just given what happened in the Six Nations.
Sam Ilo then, taking him a little bit longer to make the breakthrough.
Obviously went straight from Leinster over to Connacht, almost bypassed the academy and went straight into a senior contract and really had to be patient for his time over there.
I think it's remarkable that Finlay Beelum wasn't listed as one of the unavailable or injured players last week.
Sam Elo has been starting ahead of Beelum the last five, six weeks for Connacht and he's picked ahead of him for Ireland.
He's there very much on merit.
It's not because of an injury crisis or anything.
Would you expect Finlay Balaam, though, to come back a little bit stronger now next year?
Summer off, he's in his mid-30s.
It might actually be the perfect time to get a little break.
I'm all for that.
no no sorry I'll move it on to the general thoughts heading into this block of three games Australia, Japan, New Zealand
I always think back to 2022, Keats, and how the New Zealand tour was almost framed as this kind of launchpad for the big year ahead in 2023.
Now, it didn't finish the way everyone would have wanted with a big World Cup finale, but...
the principle was there and in theory it kind of worked it really launched the year or so when you think about a win in Australia but more importantly finishing off the block of three with trying to be the first team in 32 years to go and beat the All Blacks at Eden Park if you're Andy Farrell and you're trying to team and map out the next few weeks is that almost the perfect way of the perfect North Star to have to lead you off to the World Cup in a year's time
And let's not forget, Birch, as well, there's a trophy up for grabs later on in the year if this block of three games goes well.
Yeah, we'll be talking a little bit more about that on next week's podcast, which will be Tuesday next week.
A few more bits, though, before we finish up.
