I know TG Carhartt gets some of them, but...

losing that rte deal that they had before where they were on kind of prime time saturday evening slots and getting so many eyeballs on like this time of year rugby starts to struggle for for kind of attention obviously this week it's up against prague which is a unique unique event but even the ga all that sort of stuff is getting going in the next couple weeks and like

I know this we've talked about the financial pressure that Munster are under and I'm sure that it's more lucrative to be behind that paywall but there's a balance there you lose eyeballs like last weekend almost happened in a little vacuum for all the people who are probably listening to us today the people who still care about rugby enough to pay for a subscription and I do think the provinces and the RFU need to just be wary of that and the URC organisers that you need to you need to have as much exposure as possible at this time of year to stay on top of it that's part of the reason I think

like revenues are going to drop from kind of, they might be getting more off TV, but our sponsors are going to be as interested if you're not on that prime time slot.

So like, cause this, this is an interesting time of the year, but all the games are, are, are behind that paywall.

And that's, that's unfortunate for rugby, which, you know, I think they, that's something they need to balance off the competition organizers in the next, when the next round of negotiations come up.

Cause we saw the six nations, obviously it's Ireland and,

but even that France England game I still have people talking to me about it the biggest audience possible I know there's a price to pay for that but it's a pity that it's all nearly all happening behind the panel Ireland won the Six Nations didn't they a few people thought they'd won it you know with a few premature tweets I think we don't

I saved my best offer in here.

Yeah, perhaps.

Although I think if England won...

First time since 2021.

Correct.

Did he have a particular month?

It happened to a bishop, Joe.

I listened to a very celebrated broadcaster earlier misuse the word fulsome, which is a commonly misused... Fulsome apology, that one?

Fulsome apology or fulsome praise, which, in fairness, I misused and then was called up by the Sunday Indo desk and now... It's a jungle out there.

Kids kill the brunch train.

Because brunch, you'd kind of wake up mid-morning.

Think about maybe going to 12.
