Champions Cup rugby, I think no one will fancy playing them in the playoffs, even though if they get there, they'll probably have to play away from home.
And they've got a real chance in the Challenge Cup.
It's tough for them.
There's good teams in that Challenge Cup still, but how tuned in are La Rochelle or some of the French teams going to be, we never know.
There have been times where you could be critical of Bundy's form of conic, but if you get Ireland, the prime Ireland Bundy Aki, even at 37, or 36 he is now, playing him in the midfield alongside, I say, Kyle Ford or Hugh Gavin, I think he's out injured at the moment, but they have other good centres, good young centres around them, supporting Jack Carty, who they can build...
this kind of last dance team around.
Bundy knows that having something to play for at this time of season is not guaranteed.
So there's a chance to go and do something pretty special here, as he did 10 years ago when they won the league.
I'm not saying they're going to do it, but if you get him tuned in, he's got a good coach.
I'm sure he believes in Lancaster.
I'm sure he's enjoying what he's putting out there.
They've got a scrum that's now really competitive with Billy Bohan,
Really impressing.
Finlay Beedham's in good form.
They've got good young players that Lancaster started introducing.
They've got new internationals in Dara Murray.
They have Sean Jansen, who I think is one of the next Cavs off the rank for Ireland, one of the foreign players in the URC.
They've got Iwane coming in for a change of pace off the bench.
It's a really good setup.
They have the best goal kicker in Ireland in Sam Gilbert, who can get you over the line in tight games.
