Possible Driveshaft slack/play

Is this normal??
I’ve noticed a bit of play in the front wheels/driveshaft while rotating my tyres today, with one of the front wheels in the air and the other on the ground I am able to rotate the wheel (as if it were rolling) back and forth about 5-10 degrees, is this something to be concerned about? It’s the same on both sides and the wheel and driveshaft move together so the play (if that’s what it is) is at the transmission end and doesn’t appear to be the CV joints, I’m inclined to think it’s normal but not sure!

EDIT: I’ve just spotted I’ve posted this in the R forum and it should have been in the GTI one sorry! I guess the question would span both though possibly!
