And they just ran up, whatever it was, 14 tries.
But it is amazing.
They've got some incredible players.
Obviously, the likes of Ellie Kildon.
I mean, she's become such a popular player and like,
you know people are drawn to her but it is incredible that they still pull the crowds and I remember last year speaking to somebody after the World Cup final I was over there and the atmosphere really was incredible and there was stuff like you know fake merchandise you know there was people selling off tickets outside the ground and somebody said to me you would never see that at a women's at a women's game but you know
They've just brought it on to another level and you just hope for Ireland this weekend that they don't get kind of lost in that slipstream, which I don't believe that they will.
I think they do seem to be set on putting in a really good performance against them this weekend.
Yeah, I mean, for sure.
But look, there's no doubt that the players in the... the number of players over in the PWR now, we were speaking about that with the players today at their media day, that they will bring back kind of something different to this Irish squad.
You know, if
you know, they're more familiar with playing with them.
I was talking to Aoife Wafer just recently, like she trains with the likes of Ellie Culldon every day.
She watches how she does things.
So all of that, you'd imagine, as much as we want the Irish League itself, you know, to grow, but you'd imagine that that will only be a benefit for the players.
And you mentioned Elle Perry there.
Of course, it's likely to be her first time playing against the country of her birth.
She will bring some kind of inside information as well to the Irish squad this weekend because the scrum
was a big factor in that game in Cork last weekend, as it always is against English side.
So they will need that to be locked in this weekend.
