not a comeback.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I am still retired. I just had an opportunity to
come and have a run around with the Barbarians and
it'll be silly to say no. A great group of people.
We came in on Monday, players all around the world.
Closets are legends of the games. That's pretty cool. Well.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Number one Yarnick Sinner has booked his spot in the
