Vinnie Perth

I'd say their primary thinking last week was just to give him a run and see how he is.

And then they would have seen how he played and gone, whoa, that's an option.

Because he's a big game player.

He's got X factor.

The best off-the-ball game in Irish rugby.

Off the balls.

Ben and Vane, do you not think, right, the word intensity, do you not think, especially at the beginning of the season with so many games that they're not able to get to the intensity levels Friday, Monday, Friday, Monday?

But I think it comes down to styles, Vinnie.

I mean, last week, right, I was looking at the Pat Shells game and only watched the highlights.

But when I saw that game from last week, I said, that's one that if I was a neutral in Dublin, I would want to go and watch because of the styles of both managers.

Both managers are intense, they're aggressive, and they're attacking styles.

So it would turn into a bit of a basketball game.

You would get more one-on-ones, you would get more chances, more crosses, more of the good stuff in football.

Whereas you go now and look at other teams with their styles, when the styles don't match up, it just becomes a drabby, slow, real hard watch.

And yes, we're always getting a few of them, but we need to get more aggressive styles

Yeah, 100%.

That's fine.

Ah, Jesus, Vinnie.
