Loads of positives.

They're building for the future.

It's all positive soundbites.

And contrast that with Leinster, who's still the only Irish province in the semi-final.

They played in the European final.

They were unbeaten throughout the whole year.

There's an argument from their side to say, well, hold on a minute.

This is where we're at.

But it's just... The reason it's probably happening is because... You know, Leo's been there the guts of 10 years, hasn't he?

And people... And look, everyone's entitled to probe this situation.

Do they... Have they under...

achieved with the the level of player they have and that's a fair valid point um i think leo has to take some you know he was talking about the pressure as well and the pressures internally and and he went on a good bit about the pressure loads of different types of pressure but ultimately um you know they've lost uh you know they've lost big finals and

for the type of players they have, um, you think the return, there's very small margins in all those.

I think the, certainly the two La Rochelle finals and, and the Toulouse match, I thought Leinster should have won those three and, um, excellent teams they came up against and, uh, they're, you know, they, they just, that final little bit of, uh,

cohesiveness or game management let them down a few times I think last year in the semi-final probably that exasperates it a little bit more when you don't play Geordie Barrett and you lose against Northampton when even including myself I didn't think Northampton had a chance against Leinster last year I thought the way they blew teams away in the pool stages so I think Leo's got to take this into chain I think Leo's got to he's spoke about that pressure and I think he's the one that needs to

to probably absorb a bit more of that pressure because he's there a while and he's the one that probably is front line and center here.

But yeah, Jack obviously has some issue with some of the

It was that quiet.

The referee letting play continue.

Yeah, and he's a big loss.
