Introduction and Initial Thoughts
00:00:02
Speaker
It is. The Fantasy Robias. My name is Jared Dyke. I wanted to say it's stupid and let's move on, but then you kept going. I'm Ben Glauser. I don't like any way anybody gambled that. Collusion. Collusion.
Rugby Standings and Player Performances
00:00:27
Speaker
Hey everybody. Welcome back. It is the Fancy Rugby Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. I'm Ben Glauser. Let's go. It's fancy time. I'm going to partake in number two. I know you partake in number two. Who does number two work for? Anywho, yes, it's fancy rugby time.
Fantasy Rugby Struggles
00:00:48
Speaker
Let's look at
00:00:51
Speaker
The newest one that we just picked up this for the year so far is automations. Let's check our league first. It's the people you would expect to be in first and second. Nobody asked you. Nobody asked you. It is COVID, it's Justin. I'm not sure who laws and order is. Yeah, who is laws and order. Show yourself.
00:01:18
Speaker
Show yourself, because it's not even like, it's not even Frowdy. We know who Frowdy is. Frowdy didn't even do a team this year. Laura B, I don't know who you are, but welcome. Right. I don't know who Stu B's sexy section is, but that's hilarious. I like you. Identify yourself, Johnny. Yeah. Nice. But yeah, welcome to everybody that's in here. I am trailing you and George, so now I feel like an asshole.
00:01:45
Speaker
I was also dumb and fucking left Will Jordan in my lineup. I had picked him just throwing a lineup together for fun. And I did not change that because I was a moron. Yeah. And Old Bay's, Cold Bay's Yellow fucked me over. Yeah, that was unhelpful as well.
Top Rugby Players Discussion
00:02:00
Speaker
Right. Oh, I changed him out. But stupidly for fucking hog, that didn't do it. But in the meantime, let's
00:02:12
Speaker
So top performers, uh, Taylor Owens, Montoya in at the hook, Francis Vigerson by at prop. I don't know where the hell Thomas Francis came from, but okay. For the locks. And that's about, that's about, I'm not too surprised about.
00:02:34
Speaker
Also, um, where do you, hold on. Where do you see this? It's over on the, it's so if you go to player stats, there we go. Yeah. Thank you. And then back row, Sevilla McFarland. I had both of them actually, uh, Tipperick, probably Aldred and I had Aldred had Sevilla for the briefest of moments. And then, Oh, I already is my dude. Already is my dude. Aaron Smith leads it for
Upcoming Fixtures Analysis
00:03:00
Speaker
the halfbacks. Barney and DuPont after that.
00:03:05
Speaker
Uh, Garbisi was definitely not one, a lot of people had on their bingo board, but you let it for tens and skimming Foley. Cause they just kicked the shit out of the ball. And so also Allen was actually an honorable mention in there as well. So pretty good that both of them were in there for their country.
00:03:23
Speaker
Soutenay from Samoa and Yawani Paola. So two, yeah, two Samoan centers in there, pretty good. And then your guy, Brex, after them in the center, it's pretty good. And then in the back three, Monte Yawani, thank God we still have him, Jordy Barrett, Penno, Bafelli, I had Bafelli.
00:03:47
Speaker
I have the Felly as well. Yeah. Ramos and Koka were the big ones there. And let's look at what the fixtures look like. Hold on. Get back here this week. So we have. So the fixtures are interesting. Japan comes in. We don't know what we don't necessarily know what to expect with that. Right. Because it could they could still be playing boring, not attacking rugby. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
Strategic Picks for Matches
00:04:15
Speaker
But you want to attack Japan.
00:04:17
Speaker
Mm hmm. So we'll see. I agree. Yeah, you do. Wales Argentina. That should be interesting to see what comes out of that. I bet you think Argentina might pick a few our artists out of that match. Yeah, I would probably probably have a couple Australians on that team, that game and maybe an Italian or two who knows, depending on what Australia shows up.
00:04:39
Speaker
Scotland, New Zealand, I'll definitely be grabbing a couple of Kiwis. Yeah. Yeah. Artie's coming back on the team. I don't know why. Yeah. Oh, I got rid of him because I wanted Brad Webber as my because I thought he would. I thought he would go off as a result. I thought he. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah. I thought he was going to do what Aaron Smith did. And I was all excited about that. And I was wrong.
00:05:00
Speaker
You're on the right track, you're on nine. Also, that wouldn't have done you a whole lot. It's a super so obvious. Exactly. Yeah. That's all right. So very, very, yeah, it sucks that this is only two weeks, but it is what it is. We run with it anyway, or three weeks, excuse me. So we will have one more week after this, but, you know, just kind of take your best guess really, you know, look at the match-ups and
00:05:25
Speaker
Exactly. You can find some good ones because, you know, I'll probably name enough full strength team. So you might be able to pick some good ones out, assuming that they go back to the attacking rugby with which we saw them do. Right. And I think they will just because it's going to have to put up points. Right. I agree. Just to make sure you're you're out of shouting distance because they could state, you know, they could
00:05:49
Speaker
You know, you could be thinking you're, oh, we're 15 up on them with, you know, 20 minutes off. We'll be all right. No, you're not. All right. Like, yeah, they can score a 50 meter trial without you thinking about it. So it's going to have to be attacking because you're going to have to put up your own points. Generally speaking, just pay
Champion's League Updates
00:06:05
Speaker
attention. Just pay attention. But like Argentina, I would, I would go for Argentinians. I think.
00:06:14
Speaker
Yeah, and Kelly's a sneaky one in there as long as he's playing. Right. And then France, South Africa, that could that's another toss up. Who knows?
00:06:23
Speaker
I think Etzabeth is probably the one nailed down guy you can go with because he's just such a, he's one of the, he's obviously one of the best second girls in the world and he just seems to always do it one way or the other, especially with the vast number of ways you can score in this format. It probably does you good to just say, bite the bullet and pay for Etzabeth and live with the rest, you know? So that's just my thought
Division Two Analysis
00:06:48
Speaker
at least. And we got,
00:06:55
Speaker
champion's league. Yeah. The dark days, dark days in the champion's league. That's some really rough scores. Um, division one, Duncan beat Carrick, uh,
00:07:09
Speaker
Our resident whipping boy George was put to the sword. I got on the poor guy. Didn't need all of it by any means. It was the highest point score of of the comp versus the what the second second low bottom. Yeah. Ouch. The.
00:07:31
Speaker
Uh, Mark put a, put a good number up too. He beat, he beat Justin and then then you were able to beat Cobus. Well, there's Cobus for you. Hello fight. Oh yeah. 44 to 32. Farris to be a part of that. Cobus, we don't even need to, we will never speak of this again. We will never speak of it again.
00:07:50
Speaker
Uh, let's see what's going on for this week. We have, so you have Mark. I've got Duncan. I just had him in keepers league. God damn it. Um, and then George and Carrick and then Justin and go. Well, this happens division two. Mark has bonalins. Couldn't he just, couldn't Eddie have just kept him. God damn it. I mean, it would have made sense, but Hey, we know what he doesn't do things that make sense. Right.
00:08:21
Speaker
Let's see. All right. So, division two.
Lineup Strategies and Recommendations
00:08:23
Speaker
Alex won again. He beat Larry. Way to go, Alex. All right. Coming back. We have Luke and Terry. Luke beat Terry, unfortunately. Sorry, Terry. Then we have, man, Sofia won, but who's that? Is that John? Sometimes it doesn't. Yeah, that's not good. 12 points.
00:08:48
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's John. That's why you're a last big guy. I like you and all, but that's why you're last. Yeah, that happens. Yeah, Stuart. What happened with it? Oh, you don't. Did Sophia send you the lineups? Yeah. Oh, I can tell you in a second right here. What happened there? Was that just dumb luck or? Well, I think he had some bad luck in lineups because he only had two players. Yeah. DDP and series front row.
00:09:16
Speaker
Oh, come on, man. There's others. There's got to be. So maybe he wasn't asleep at the wheel. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. Or, you know, right. Or he just got really unlucky with the the waivers with that. Yeah, with that product. That's right. So and Stuart beat Franco as well. So that leaves us with you put up.
00:09:40
Speaker
We have Stewart at the top at seven and two and conference one. So if he is right behind him, Franco at five and four. And then John is holding up the bottom of that one right now. It's still only one person coming from conference two that gets into the knockouts. And now it's Alex. He's evened up the records. He's four and five Terry is. And so is Larry.
00:10:02
Speaker
And then, um, Luke is at three and six. So good on Alex for just keeping at it, man. Just, you can't quit. And I had a crap start to the year two and I'm, I'm only one game back. So lots of time, although it can happen. Yeah. Lots and lots of time.
Match Analysis: Bath vs Leicester
00:10:22
Speaker
All right. We have.
00:10:27
Speaker
Starts it. We do. Oh, yeah. Starts it. I think. Do I go first? No, I have. I have the Friday game. I have. So Bath and Lester. All right. So for we'll do some of the way we've been doing last few weeks. So for bath, start with them. War boys. Yes. Any of their half backs leave them. But row thumbs up.
00:10:52
Speaker
Um, loose forwards, Ferguson Warner is actually probably ahead of a lot of them, not named miles read. And that's it. Uh, the rest of them are taking a flyer at that point. Godspeed. Um, a Jomo and Lawrence are the only mids I want Lawrence being high up there. Obviously he's going to be, he's not going to be as high as he was last week for me, but it'll be up there.
00:11:16
Speaker
And then for the wingers, Mac Gallagher's it. Everybody else, meh. Whole lot of meh right now for me. You know, if we see the landfill return, maybe, but yeah, outside backs for Beth, there's not a whole lot to love there. So if you're forced to pick up anybody, not named Matt Gallagher, good luck. Yeah. For the Tigers. Finally back. Finally. Finally. The Tigers come back. Um,
00:11:44
Speaker
If Atkinson's at 10, yes, Freddy Burns probably is okay this match because it's Beth and, you know, Beth have been a little leaky. No nine that they have is worth a damn, so pass. Locks, George Martin's probably it. He's actually putting up an okay number as a lock, so give that a thumbs up. Levenberg, probably the best to lose forward because he'll probably go back to number eight. And then, front row's,
00:12:14
Speaker
It's more playable than others. So yeah. Yeah. It's not the worst one. Right. Midfielders, you spoke about Guy Porter earlier. He's probably good
Match Preview: Gloucester vs Newcastle
00:12:25
Speaker
to go. Don't like Old Man Jimmy. Coca, Phil Coca, maybe. Maybe Dan Kelly, maybe Matt Scott, but I don't love any of those. The one I like the most is Guy Porter. So thumbs up to him. I'm excited about a Guy Porter versus
00:12:44
Speaker
Ali Lawrence matchup. That could be fun. That could be fun. That could be tasty. That's worth the price of admission right there. Obie's, as long as Nidal is still around, he's probably all right.
00:12:56
Speaker
Ashy, maybe Potter, maybe because this defense is fairly leaky. So, um, well, I really want to say Watson. Yes, but I'm, I'm really hesitant right now. So he's not going to prove it to me. He's improved a territory. So he really is. Yeah, there's that. He, I wanted, I wanted to put him at start of the week. He was, he was like, right. But then it's like, I can't recommend him because nothing good. No. Yeah. Inconsistent. Right.
00:13:27
Speaker
And I don't, yeah, like he's more likely to bomb out than do well. So he's like, he's my, I'm rooting for him. Cause it's always cool when you play
Match Strategies: Exeter vs London Irish
00:13:35
Speaker
against your old mates, but I don't know that he's that guy anymore. I'm not sure that's gonna, I'm not sure that's gonna do it there. All right, off to Gloucester and Newcastle, which will be a real slugfest. That'll be exciting to watch.
00:13:57
Speaker
Yeah, they'll have a much, they have an opponent that won't like, I mean, we all know how sale can do, they'll, they'll just dick you to death. And that's kind of what they did to, to Gloucester. Newcastle can't really do that. So they can't slow the game down. They can't drag it down. They can't.
00:14:12
Speaker
And, you know, the weather didn't help but still sailor just naturally good at that Newcastle aren't so I'm going back to this kind of, you know, more hopeful approach with Gloucester, the front row is always always ago. Freddie Clark is always you know he's always a danger to do something awesome like he even did last week. Ackerman yes this week. Chapman hopefully I think again he's got to have a little bit more space to operate.
00:14:41
Speaker
and could go for a dart. And then Jack Reeves, I think those Newcastle centers could open up to him. He's a try scorer. So you haven't seen it so much at the prem level, but he's been awesome in the prem cup. And Newcastle's centers are pretty much prem cup centers. So he could do well here. And then Moyle could again be decent in a pinch. You mentioned him a little bit ago. Oh, no, you didn't.
Game Dynamics: Saracens vs Northampton
00:15:06
Speaker
He was another guy who actually scored over 10. So he's a guy who could do again this week. This is for Newcastle. Yeah. The front row.
00:15:16
Speaker
I mentioned him earlier in the other pod, but Brett Conin is a potential go this week just because of the opponent. He could score pretty decently and you're going to need a 10. So this is a week where I wouldn't shy away from him. Pick him up like he's a normal 10 that you would play. Penny is also a potential play here. And then the rest is kind of lineup dependent. You know, Radwin, I'm not going to, whatever. Yeah. I didn't have to mention it. You don't need to go there. Right. All right.
00:15:45
Speaker
Exeter and the exiles. So let's start with a 10 shirt. Joe Simmons, if he's in, he's an absolute go. He's going to be another high one for me this week. Leave the, the, the, the dickhead at home. No good. Um, exit front row. Yes. London Irish front row. Yes. Um, halfbacks.
00:16:10
Speaker
None of them in this game, honestly. Like, Anglefield been doing enough for me to, you know, open my eyes. If it's Joe Powell, good luck. And then, you know, decks are half backs, they're trash. Locks, nah, leave them. Loose forwards, Exeter.
00:16:30
Speaker
No, no, that's about it. Yeah. No, maybe to him, if he gets if he gets a run for the exiles, Basham, maybe Rogerson. I think Pearson got sent back, right? So yeah, he did him as well. So yeah, that might actually make a big difference in this match. We'll see. Right. Midfielders.
00:16:57
Speaker
Unless Hendrickson or Devota come come back for Exeter leave them don't don't want anything to do with them And then Will Joseph's been has been released yes for
Player Recommendations: Start or Sit?
00:17:11
Speaker
I think so. Okay, so both so that potentially is both one Irish Midfielders, so thumbs up for them and then Obies
00:17:24
Speaker
Would burn if he's healthy, yes. Hodge, yes. And then we'll see. Maybe Dan John, if he's back at that wing again, didn't look too bad. Found space, so give him credit where credit's due. For the Exiles, Hasselkallen's loader, yes. Parton, maybe. I don't love Stokes, though, so that's the one spot I'm kind of... I don't know what happened to those. Parton and Stokes used to be like... I remember them from...
00:17:54
Speaker
certainly on TRM being like monsters and then try spores when they when they played and they just kind of it's all just dried up yeah and if we see the return of Kyle Rowe I don't know if he's been away or if he's just not with the team anymore or what but he's a potential one to keep your eyes on out for as well
00:18:13
Speaker
And a reminder, Curtis Rohn is no longer with the team still. Yeah, please remember that. That's not changing. Don't. He may look tempting with all those points sitting there in the wafer wire. He went home. He went home, man. He ain't even around no more. Do Haunt. Do Haunt did the same. Right. There's plenty. There's a lot on there. Like Dan Bigger's gone. There's so many
Match Predictions and Analysis
00:18:30
Speaker
on the wafer wire. He's got to be, you know. Yeah, you got to be mindful. It's like, wait, why am I dropping this guy? I forgot it's not here anymore. Right.
00:18:36
Speaker
All right, last off to stone X for a right. You're done. Yeah. Cool. All right. Let's continue where I left off off the stone X for Saracen's hosting Saints, which is likely the game of the week just for its magnitude and the.
00:18:54
Speaker
the two teams that are just going to go at it. It'll be great. With some high level, even without some of their internationals. For the Saracens, their front row and Earl are really the only sure bets in the pack. Tizard has not been the playmaker he was with Quinn's. And he's also still young, and he's working his way into the system. He's learning. Yeah, he's not quite comfortable enough to throw some of the passes he was throwing at Quinn's.
00:19:23
Speaker
quite yet so it's not quite there yet. And then I'm not I'm not sure what else they're going to show Christie's not a guy who's a fantasy monster so and neither is Ray, so, no, but the back line should put up some points because Northampton are leaky in the best of times.
00:19:42
Speaker
Right on the saints. And it's kind of similar. Maybe Augustus is the only forward I want
Closing Thoughts on Strategies and Dynamics
00:19:47
Speaker
from saints this match. It's just, hopefully it's just crushed teams and in the forwards, as far as points, they just like stomp it out of you. They, they don't, they don't, you know, you get a lot of points from line breaks and miss tackles and saris just generally don't do that.
00:20:03
Speaker
So Augustus might get some if he's playing. So I'm not sure I'd start any of the other forwards from from Saints. The back's another story. Michelin out like any one of them could go over from and also from distance because that's how Northampton do. So start any of them and it's kind of like you're playing a lottery. You're kind of hoping your guy hits big. Absolutely.
00:20:32
Speaker
And so we can hit one of them. Well, I mean, it's not going to be a shutout, obviously. So one of them is going to get over. Maybe one of them might get over twice, but yeah. Yeah. You kind of want to back yourself on that.
00:20:48
Speaker
It's better. Yeah, it's better than like, you know, Newcastle back back. Yeah.
Listener Engagement and Farewell
00:20:52
Speaker
Were you like, ah, that's that's. Oh, God. Oh, gross. Right. Yeah. That's more like plain lottery because, you know, you're not going to win, but you're just doing it anyway for. For funsies. Like, well, I got nothing else. I might as well throw Ben Stevenson out there. Who the fuck. He did all right for me this week. You got like 11. So yeah. Yeah. Did it right. All right. Low tws of the weeks.
00:21:19
Speaker
All right, so my guy, we're not having the same start of the week. Probably not. My start of the week is a guy that's.
00:21:28
Speaker
been, been around the block once or twice, maybe 300 or so times. And he's going to have a nice matchup because it's going to be fairly open and he's probably going to have a tee once again. And I don't see why this is not going to go well for him. So my start of the week is for what was this round nine? Geez, whatever. It was permission. Brown is the former England man and current saint, the current series utility man. That looks good.
00:21:55
Speaker
Yeah, that's Mr. 339 is on my list. And it's mine's not also not going to be Alex Mitchell, because that's another one that's too easy. And Ben salesmen, ass holders. That's true. That's true. I'll give him credit.
00:22:12
Speaker
But my start of the week is going to be bent against the Van Rensburg. Oh, OK. Interesting. Because I I'm still you know, especially if I don't know if Witten's healthy. I'm not sure what's going on there. I do the more good than not if he isn't. Right. So this is my you know, if Ben Hart is playing and Witten is playing as I expect him to, Ben Hart's going to just. Make life miserable for him.
00:22:37
Speaker
Mm hmm. Yeah, he will. Yeah, it'll be another early exit for for Witten likely and not probably because it won't be. Well, then we get tactically. No, it won't be a taxable because. That's not a factor doesn't actually sell it and only when he only when he dies. Only when he comes an inch from death, right? Right.
00:22:58
Speaker
All right. Sit from the match. You just mentioned, um, guys been pretty poor and he's going against a team that just generally are dicks to tens. So, um, doesn't really make me sad to say that my say of the week for this round of the prep is the exiles. Number 10.
00:23:17
Speaker
Yeah, for a fine sit. That's why like, you know, when I was thinking about for the for the picking of the them, that one was a hard one because first that that exiles 10 has been poor, certainly. And this is a gettable match. But you know, no matter what happens, I don't think he's going to score well. So yes, I agree with that. Mine is also from that same. Wait, hold on.
00:23:45
Speaker
Yeah, same match, other side of the coins. Yeah, Exeter, going with Ollie Woodburn. His last three starts, he has 10.8 points total. And one of them was like a 7.2 match. So it's not going well for him. He's come out at halftime twice in a row. I know this time he had to come out. He kind of took some sort of knock early and tried to play through it and had to come off at half.
00:24:13
Speaker
Even if he plays this week, I just, I don't like to match up and he is still going to be banged up a little and. Yeah, he doesn't have to help either. Right. Apart from Podge, obviously. Exactly. Yeah. So maybe if Simmons is playing and they let him loose, but. Right. That has a better thing. Maybe to me, I'd, I'd, I'd have Hodgett. I'm sorry. I'd have Hodgett winning and Simmons at 15 again. If I guess Skinner would have to be healthy for that.
00:24:40
Speaker
Yeah, that might be the one bug we're in right now. If I was setting that line up the forwards would be massively different too. That is the truth. Good job. All right. Beth and Lester, we're going to pick them. I have a one game lead once again. I felt great. I felt gross making that pick, but I was like, oh,
00:25:09
Speaker
hmm, it felt like it was gonna be a gross match. So yeah, it fit. Are you? Yeah. Buster haven't played in a bit. They're missing. They did play last weekend. But yeah, yeah. But they're missing their best. Some of their best players though. Oh, I don't know. Who's there? Who's their scrum half going to be? This is what that that's what it was. Yeah.
00:25:38
Speaker
And I love Wiggles, but it's kind of like that. And who's their 10 going to be? Well, if it's Charlie, I'm fucking all about it. Yeah. But is he going to be, you know, is he is he ready to play for them? I don't know. But honestly, like you better be at least on the bench so they can break glass in case of emergency. Right. I'm just I'm not. I guess I'm just not feeling it. So I don't know. I don't like what Lester have to offer.
00:26:06
Speaker
And I liked the way Beth had been playing and Lester, aren't the team of old either. You know, they're not there to their last year's team, not their wagon that they were last year. They're no, I know. They're beatable. And Beth, they're surprisingly country this year. Yeah. That sounds like from what we've heard, that's been grand style. So yeah, I am taking the Tigers though. Okay.
00:26:30
Speaker
Gloucester and Newcastle. I'm taking the host here. Definitely. Yeah. They're going to be annoyed. Skips probably fired some rockets up some bums. I'm going to give it to them. And it's a different opponent too. Yeah. Sail away is just not. Right. No. That's a hellish landscape right there. And they aren't really missing anyone for automation. So it's like, hey, we just have our team.
00:26:56
Speaker
Guys missing for injury. That's about it. Yeah, I got a few guys. It's about yeah, too He's out there, but he's barely played for them anyway, so right They're used to playing without him. Yeah Thanks, we're in London Irish Hosts. Yeah, that's probably the one thing that's doing for me is the fact that they're at home because like the Irish are the better team but
00:27:18
Speaker
Obviously it's different in a lot of ways. Exactly. Well, both of these teams, both of these teams are poo. Definitely. And Irish are thicker, slightly less smelly poo. Like, you know, they've been covered in poo-paree. Right. It's like decorative poo. Like there's, there's some fun stuff there that work with.
00:27:44
Speaker
I have lost the plot on this one. There's good stuff there, but you go to Exeter and it's just, it becomes, it's like going to the sale. Like it's just, you're automatically like, the field is mud kind of thing. I can't stop laughing. God damn it.
00:28:04
Speaker
I don't know why this is so funny. I think I just need a laugh. I don't know why. Go for it. You and your poo jokes. Jeez. Yeah, I just can't see them winning because Irish are just not I can't see them winning on the road at Exeter. They don't have it takes it takes some some testicles to get that done. And I don't think
00:28:32
Speaker
The exiles have a set right now. No, they better find them. Yeah. Yeah. They're there. They're there. It's just they're underdeveloped. Yep. They don't have the seek out those seek out those guts there. But yeah, this is like one of those like all you need is the guts to win this and they don't they don't have that they have all the everything else.
00:28:57
Speaker
of the talent and ability. They just, you know, they can't go to that place that you need to go to to win this match. Sometimes. Yeah. Two in a dark places. Unless Exeter just shit the bed, which is also possible because they completely possible play down to opponents. But even with that, it's still hard. Yeah. The Sunday match series in North Hampton. This one's going to be on early, dammit. Yeah, I'm going with like us again. Yeah, I am too. I'm going with boys and black. Because again,
00:29:29
Speaker
The saints their defenses is poor and I trust i'm trusting mccall here again that he will open the game up when he needs to. will be back on the fast track to hopefully the weather will not be. But like it was this past weekend. yeah let's see if there's a.
00:29:50
Speaker
Well, I mean, the weather report for one, it's always going to be kind of meh. Right. Hopefully it's just less meh than it was last week. Right. There's no rain. It's like 60 degrees. All right. That can be good. That's fine. That's that's good. Yeah, that'll be fine. You can open that up. So this can be a fun game to watch in that case. Exactly.
00:30:11
Speaker
The Saints don't know how to score, but they also just don't know how to stop anybody, so. Right. And to me, yeah, that's that's why I think Sarri's not only because they're home, but because they have the they have the defense and they'll they'll get they'll reach in there when it matters. Yeah. And they've got the depth as a club to because Saints, they're both they're both hurting. They both are missing people who are. Who are away in our nations, but
00:30:42
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Like this, you know, it doesn't make that, you know, it doesn't take too much away from the Sarri's defense. They can all defend. No, the old back man. It's just and, you know, they're good enough to find gaps with a bad defense against a bad defense. Yeah, they have some classy. They have some classy attackers out there, right? All right. OK, they'll do it still reminds me that, like I said, I had the thought about
00:31:12
Speaker
You know, Johnny May and Jack Nolby on the England squad. And it's, it's crazy. Cause like, even if you took both of them and you put them on Saris, they'd probably be the slowest wingers on the team. Yeah. And that includes Lewington and Maitland, which is saying something, which, you know, these guys are not fast, but they can. Yeah. Lewington's very quick. Now that you get some credit for it, Maitland, not so much, but not so much. Yeah. So he'd probably be in the same category as those three or those two, excuse me. But.
00:31:41
Speaker
would still probably get the nod because he just knows the team better. Yeah, that's all. So and yeah, but I'm saying that just to be like that, sorry, still have guys who can run a little bit. Totally. Totally. And that may and no will suck and shouldn't have a national team because they can't run anymore. No, no longer. OK. That'll do for this.
00:32:10
