Yeah.
26:29
Now, I think because of ex- his experience this year, I don't think that'll be the case.
26:33
I think Mitchell will come back in for the big games towards the end of the season.
26:39
Um, but he, he sort of broke through the last couple of years and was good, was very, very good, but he seems to have gone to another level.
26:50
I saw, uh, an interview this week where, uh, apparently Sam Vesty had a word with him and just said, "You're worrying too much about it.
26:58
Don't beat yourself up for mistakes."

Kitchen sink, yeah

Yeah.

You know, it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't disastrous.
4:04
But then the injury crisis at prop has just brought that into sharp focus.
4:08
You kind of, it's, listen, it's the rugby truism, you know, um, no scrum, no win, and it's hard to look beyond that.
4:15
And that's despite a few other injuries here and there, which, you know, everybody has injuries.
4:19
You know, not everyone has the depth of squad like, like France or indeed England.
4:23
Um, and, and you could sort of...
