And then you're looking at the bench and you're thinking, Luke McGrath, you know, last hurrah for him.
He's off to Perpignan.
I think Frawley probably ahead of Prendergast, but I could see Leinster going Prendergast 22, Frawley 23, because they've done that before.
And I'm not sure if they're ready to completely go down the Harry road over Sam.
And that squeezes Rico Mane out of your 23.
Now,
That's fair enough on form, I think.
Now, you could look at it and go, Fraude 22, Awani 23, and you've got a lot of power and punch there, and you're Prendergast losing it all together.
He was good for Leinster in the European games, particularly coming off the bench, or when he played a fullback, he was good.
So there is a role from there, but that's probably ahead of...
No, you're right.
And I think, look, his confidence has definitely been hit.
So, no, I think that's where I'd probably go for Oli Ioane, even though I don't think Ioane's playing particularly well.
Look, Jimmy O'Brien was in Ireland camp over the Six Nations.
He's back as well.
He'll be in that conversation.
No, but the winger always gets exposed when there's a lack of line speed inside you.
So I do think, like, you know, that that can be, you know, it looks bad for you, but, like, it didn't look great for Iwani when he got turned by Stafford McDowell in that 1-2 and when they were breaking out.
Like, it didn't look like they'd done much analysis on Glasgow, which, like, I'm sure they did, but, like, Glasgow can hurt you from anywhere.
I guess the solace for them is there's not that many teams like Glasgow who will hurt you in the way that they did.
