No.

No, well, on one hand, it's the second way into the Champions Cup next year.

So I'm sure Richie Murphy, like I don't even know if the thought would have crossed his mind, but I'm sure there's part of him going, God, I'd love to be able to rest people up and really take on those last two games, which are against the top two in Glasgow and the Stormers.

But...

You know, there's other teams playing against each other in that top eight.
