Second line-out, they go to the front, set up a maul.
McCarthy comes through and kind of marmalises it, gets his hands on it.
Again, their maul is really strong.
That was a bit of a hammer blow.
Then they go to the very front of the line out.
And that's when, you know, one of the flaws with Borthwick and what he's picked there, he's picked two jumpers.
So I'm not a line out expert, but your options are quite often either go over the back or win it at the very front or go to like five, five man line.
It's trying to create a bit of space.
But the reason why they're having to go to the front is Ireland have blocked them off.
Um,
And that's really good strategy from us.
And then, so they get terrible front football.
You've touched on the Chesham really shoddy pass.
That's bad drill.
Like that's been practiced multiple times during the week.
That pass just simply has to be executed.
And then, you know, the pressure's on and you're going, right, we'll go for an over, we'll go overthrow over the back.
And it's overthrown.
But again, that's pressure.
We've put them under so much pressure.
