RTÉ Rugby Podcast · Leinster go back to back and who will replace Leo Cullen in 2027? · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

And once Leinster muscled up,

and were putting their bodies on the line, the Bulls looked like they had no ideas.

And also, I suppose, the likes of Pollard, Keenan Moody, Willy Leroux, who you expect more of, had particularly poor games.

So Leinster controlled their own destiny and it was a really good performance, but I suppose it wasn't a great look such a one-sided fan.

No, it certainly wasn't.

Jake, a question around the South African teams, how they defend.

I think the Bulls were caught quite narrow a couple of times the previous week or two weeks before that against Glasgow.

In the first half of Glasgow's possession, they ripped them apart.

you look at some of the scores that the Lions the Sharks concede obviously when it works it's brilliant but do you think that there should be more flexibility or maybe there is flexibility for each franchise to put their own shape on their defensive system or is it all defending like the box because we can see obviously for the box it works brilliantly but sometimes I think there's easy yards to be made like the two yellow cards

come from the Bulls being effectively very narrow and caught on transition.

Is it hard for the South African franchise coaches to... Because the lure of the box seems to be so strong now to get those performances on a weekly basis for the franchises.

So the Bulls... Let's give the Bulls a freebie here because they've been back-to-back finalists.

But let's look at someone like the Sharks.

You see the Sharks and the team they have on paper...

And you see some players who at international level are absolutely outstanding, but quite regularly in a shark's share, you don't perform to that level.

I mean, do you think it's hard to get the same level of performance from your star players on a weekly basis?

Why is that?

Is it just...

Is it just the lure of the box?

Is it because they're trying to manage their game time?
