Yeah, massive.
I think they're sort of leaders of the group playing for top clubs and sort of the peak of their careers, or maybe not Jude.
I know Jude's like twelve or whatever he is, but he's still there.
So he's still got a long way to go, but it feels like he's a big player for us.
so yeah, that's important, I think, for any team who's got sort of world-class players to, to keep them sort of fit and firing and, and scoring goals is, like you need that little bit of luck to, to get you through to the latter stages of the tournament.
But I think for sort of Harry to score the goals that he did, and Jude as well, I thought was, like all over the pitch.
And I really feel like Jude's one of those players where you can really feel when Jude's on it, and he sort of sets the tone sometimes.
If he goes flying into a tackle with like three minutes gone, like you like really gives you that energy like, "Wow, Jude's on it today."
Like, I've got to like raise my level a little bit.
He's got that about him.
So, to see him start the tournament well, I was really pleased for him.
