Grand Slam, Six Nations title, pole position going into the final round – there's a lot at stake this afternoon when Ireland take on France.
And that's only the team.
On the personal front, Peter O’Mahony, Conor Murray, Cian Healy and almost 400 caps bid adieu to Aviva Stadium.
Meanwhile, Finlay Bealham, Jack Conan and Caelan Doris will hit a half century of caps each.
While it’s in the background, the landmarks will also feed into the occasion says Doris, who spoke about the presentation involving family members on Thursday night.
"It's a nice tradition that Faz [Andy Farrell] started when he came in as head coach," said the captain.
"Myself and Rónan [Kelleher] made our debuts on the 1st of February 2020 and it started then.
"Our dads came in, there was a little slideshow with a few clips and what not.
"One of the more senior players presented us with our jerseys and it's followed the whole way through.
"Through Covid, it kind of went digital a little bit with lots of videos, but it's nice having families and partners back in.
"It's a special moment for them coming back in and being made part of the team environment, having dinner with us after and sticking around for a little while.
"I always find it a little bit emotional seeing whoever it is presenting them with their jersey and the few words that are said.
"It's a nice touch and it always leaves a nice feeling amongst the squad.
"Like with the three lads, there's three of us hitting 50 together so that's a pretty cool thing to have.
"We had our parents in, and presented our jerseys so that was special as well and adds to the occasion, but we want to keep the main thing the main thing still, which is the performance."
Doris, who has recovered from a knee injury picked up against Scotland in round two, grew up in Mayo but moved to Dublin aged 12 to continue his education in Blackrock College.
Both of his parents are psychologists and Doris himself has a degree in the discipline.
"It’s a funny one because I obviously grew up in rural Ireland where it’s relatively conservative," said the Leinster captain
"My friends’ parents would have been farmers or electricians or those sorts of jobs.
"So I was always like, 'my parents are a bit weird’, and pushing them away.
"But I have come full circle to appreciate their uniqueness and the life and the path that they have chosen.
"What they have done for me and given me as well in terms of open-mindedness and so much love and support through the years as well, I massively appreciate them."
Fifty caps on, Doris hasn't forgotten his roots and recalled his earliest memories of playing rugby in Ballina.
"It was always a great set-up down there," he said.
"It’s gone from strength to strength. There’s new pitches, new clubhouse in there now but even back then there were a number of pitches.
"I would have gone in with my brother when he was Under-8s, he’s two years older than me, so I probably would have been about five.
"I just remember a great club atmosphere. I grew up right on the beach and my school was overlooking the beach.
"There was a pitch there as well, so during the Six Nations matches, I would have gone down to the pitch and thrown the ball around. Growing up in a rural area was lovely for me, I really enjoyed it."
France have lost the last two games to Ireland but know what victory this afternoon over the Six Nations leaders would set them on course for a first title since 2022.
Doris doesn’t believe their recent poor record against the champions is something that will be of concern to Fabien Galthie’s men, who have beaten Wales and Italy, and lost to England.
"I think they don’t have too much shortage of belief given how they’ve gone so far in this campaign, given the players they have," added Doris, whose side have accounted for England, Scotland and Wales.
"But likewise for us, we’ve massive belief in what we can do.
"We feel there is massive potential within the group and that we still are yet to show our best.
"We’re pretty happy with where we’re at and how we’ve gone so far, but we feel there is plenty more room for improvement so yeah, we’re looking forward to bringing our best.
"France are strong in attack but defensively as well. So our attack is going to have to go up a level.
"There's probably an awareness that they will score so we're going to need to score tries as well but you've got to be on it defensively with the way they can create something from nothing.
"They can attack from their 22 and go the full length.
"They can pick through a breakdown and they're gone straight away, their offloading ability, everything. So you've got to be always on and we're expecting high ball in play again.
"They've got a threat through their scrum, through their lineout maul as well so it really is a full across-the-board performance that's required."
