Wales players are seeing out the final days of their intense World Cup training session in Switzerland and despite being put through their paces in searing heat and at a challenging altitude, are doing so with smiles on their faces.
It may seem strange given that they have been given a beasting out in the Alps (and indeed back home during a gruelling five-week mini-camp) but the mood is positive in the Welsh camp with players reaping the benefits of the hardcore sessions.
And that is not just the opinion of this reporter who watched them train out in Fiesch over the weekend, as the players' attitude and focus is being reflected in their fitness testing scores.
