The Green Wave Is Growing

And sorry, is it-
I
8:52Izzy ToddGUEST
The fact that as soon as those players entered the pitch, they had the big, huge grins on their faces.
I
8:58Izzy ToddGUEST
Like, it wasn't kind of a letting the occasion get to them, and same at Dexcom Stadium as well.
I
9:03Izzy ToddGUEST
Like, they, they wanted to play, they wanted to be there and show up, and put on ...
I
9:07Izzy ToddGUEST
They keep talking about kind of spectacles and performances, and really showing up for the fans, and I think that's so evident in the joy that comes across when they play.
I
9:16Izzy ToddGUEST
Um, and especially kind of one of the big successes I'd say from this tournament is that this is a really young team.
All In: Ulster v Montpellier Preview

2:00Peter LockhartHOST
This is the first time it's to have one, or can I say one silverware? potentially going to win silverware in your lifetime so how big an occasion is this?
I
2:09Izzy ToddGUEST
I mean I actually can't fit in towards the excitement I'm feeling like it's it's like you said it's the first time really that I've ever experienced a shot at silverware for Ulster so no it's it's a big occasion I had the semi-finals I was in Australia whilst they were on So I had my dad with the phone propped up, ready to go for the semis.
P
3:16Peter LockhartHOST
Hopefully slightly more relaxed circumstances than watching it on a phone from the other side of the world.
I
3:22Izzy ToddGUEST
I'm helping with the coverage for the BBC this Friday and Saturday, so I'm looking forward to that.
I
3:28Izzy ToddGUEST
It'll be a tense environment, but I'll have to keep my cheers and whoops to a limitation.
