I'll watch it at home.

I think my little six-year-old kid is going to try and stay up at least for the first half.

So, I mean, he'll probably play Lego while I'm watching it in reality.

But yeah, no, looking forward to it.

I wasn't there earlier in the week.

I'm kind of dreading it a little bit.

I kind of feel like the country's lost its mind and that worries me a little bit.

And I do think, you know, given this is our rugby show and I think the only people listening to this are committed rugby listeners.

But like if people get annoyed with Ireland getting carried away with World Cup quarterfinals in rugby, I think this is getting a bit carried away with a playoff semifinal.

But people seem like having a good time.

So hopefully they're having a good time and we're all looking forward to a final or a final playoff spot.

Well, look, it's...

unbelievable what the football team do isn't it like the like the rugby team during the world cup like france was amazing that was the closest it's ever felt to this the level the football team get to is incredible and it's just good for it's good for everyone like the mood is good it's just hopefully they can do the business so well fingers crossed otherwise it'll be back to the urc and the and uh and uh that'll be the main event with the the league finals at the weekend

I think he may have joined them.

Okay.

Not 100% on that, but I think he may have joined them.

Yeah, and I wonder, I guess the fear is, and speaking to Dennis Leamy and John Hodnett on their call earlier this week, is that...

they have a really good record at this time of year of putting together a run and getting out of a hole.

And, you know, it took them to a URC title in 2023.

It took them to top spot and what should have been a home final had they not slipped up against an excellent Glasgow team in 2024.
