ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

I think we'll see and know where they're at.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

You won't get a true reflection even if they played the full team this week.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

I think there's always a few little things that you'd hold back.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

But I've said this from the start of the season, I could be wrong.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

I think Leinster have a great chance of winning the Champions Cup.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

Obviously, you have two games to do that.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

They've been, you know, we've probably spoken a lot about them all season, that they're not the Leinster we were probably used to in the last four or five seasons, that you felt that it was theirs to lose every time in the Champions Cup.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

We haven't been speaking about them like that this year.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

But I think they could be... It's a different mentality from this year.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

There's a little bit less pressure.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

They haven't been hitting the highs of previously.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

And...

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

you know, they could, they could surprise a few people.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

There's still a lot of good players there.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

And, uh, I think that was a great boost from last week.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

And, and, and Derek probably agree.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

Um, we didn't see that one coming.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

I thought it'd be a lot closer and, and probably would have fancied Ulster to win the game.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

Um, but that performance and that energy and, and particularly those first 50 minutes, Lens were excellent.

OTB Rugby
ALAN QUINLAN: "Not their most flamboyant or exciting win!" | France vs Ireland preview | Leinster team

They looked like they were, they had a real intensity to their performance.
