And, like, Glasgow are a real contender to win Europe this year.

They look like a far more vibrant and positive team than Leinster.

They look better coached than Leinster right now.

They would be favourites going into that semi-final if they're at home.

Not in the bookies.

In rugby terms, at this stage, the way they're playing, I would have them marginally ahead.

I know Leinster probably have the pack.

Maybe we just never learn, Will.

But it's probably been one of the most interesting Leinster seasons for a long time because of this.

And it's going to be a really interesting run and how Leo Cullen manages this.

And as you mentioned, he hasn't always managed it very well before.

So that Ulster game is going to be crucial.

Like every weekend, it's kind of box office at the moment.

I think it's a real pity that, and this is nothing against Premier who do a very good job, it's a real pity that very few of these games are on free-to-air TV.

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.
