Regrets, she doesn't want any.
Linda Djougang is determined to walk off the pitch after Sunday’s Women’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final against France having given everything to the cause.
The Rush-raised prop is the most capped player in the Ireland squad and will win her 52nd at Sandy Park this weekend.
The tighthead, who made her debut in 2019, has been one of Ireland most consistent performers over a tumultuous period in Irish women’s rugby.
She regularly goes beyond 70 minutes on the pitch, such is her importance to the team.
"I just want to give everything to this World Cup and play until I'm taken off," says the 29-year-old.
"So for me, it's that mentality, having a strong mindset going to the game.
"How much can you make an impact on the field?
"Because one of the worst things to do is sit on the bench and see players and see like the other team playing, and you know you didn't give 100% .
"I always train like I'm on the bench, and then when I get my opportunity I just really give 100%.
"I think a good tournament is a tournament with less regrets. So [I'm] trying to live to that standard."
Having used her language skills as a spy in her first game against France back in 2019, Les Bleues are well aware that they have to be careful around their communication when Djougang (above) is close by.
"They know that I speak French," said the Leinster forward, who played with ASM Romagnat in 2021.
"Definitely, it's quite hard because obviously French is my first language and when you're surrounded so much with people that speak French, you turn to speak French automatically.
"You know that 'jouer' is their style of game and they're a big threat. They love their offloading.
"It also brings a confidence knowing that I played against them and I know what they like as players.
"But it also brings a good threat because they know us exactly, like they do analysis, they know what we bring.
"It's really hard to sum everything up when you're in the present.
"Maybe that's a good thing for me to just kind of just live in the present and enjoy."
The Leinster front row doesn’t shy away from the fact that this will be the biggest game of her life.
"Definitely," she says.
"I think for all of us, honestly, this is what we’ve been talking about, this is what we wanted, especially playing agaisnt France.
"We played them in Six Nations and we’ve come so close. We know their style of play. We know what they bring.
"We know the challenge ahead of us, but nothing that we haven't really been prepared for.
"We’ve definitely been closing the gap. This is where we want. We want to play tier one teams.
"We want to be up there and we want the challenge. And I think we're definitely ready for it."
Scott Bemand’s side come into the game on the back of a heavy loss to New Zealand in the final Pool C game.
It was a test that Djougang, Leinster's player of the year in 2024, says will stand to them.
"The last game on Sunday was a good game for us ahead of this game, just having that physicality, having to work hard, having to test our set pieces.
"I think it just gave us that heads-up for the game on Sunday."
Bemand is due to name his team later this morning with indications that back row Aoife Wafer will be fit for her World Cup bow.
The 22-year-old has been out of action since round four of the Six Nations, most recently sidelined with a knee injury.
Meanwhile, full-back Stacey Flood is expected to return after a nasty cut to her foot in last week's loss, while the rest of the backline is likely to remain unchanged.
Fiona Tuite, who has moved between the second and back row this year, is also expected to line out having missed the Spain game with a leg knock.
