00:00 It's good, isn't it? Like you said, the last six weeks have been incredible. The support,
00:12 the way we've played, the combination of both. It's been a dream come true really for all
00:20 of us. Thank you. How can you be prouder to be Irish when you see what's happened over
00:29 the last six weeks really. We get behind the team like no other. It's incredible. It's
00:38 not wasted on us and that's why it's so hard to take really that we didn't give them another
00:45 couple of weekends. But like Faz said, it's small margins and that's sport, that's life.
00:52 It's unfortunate but this group will bounce back. They're an incredible bunch led by the
00:58 man beside me and the best group I've ever been a part of, bar none. These guys, they'll
01:07 go on and achieve great things and I'll be sitting in the stand having a pint like you
