So whether it's Jimmy O'Brien or whether it's James Lowe,

They tend to go from right to left through the hands way more than they go from left to right in that outsider 22 area.

And then that winger normally puts on the toe.

So they don't use their left footer like Ireland historically did where they use them to exit, get from their own 22 and have a 10 on the right, a left footer on the left or off nine.

Leinster are very rigid in the fact that Gibson Park takes responsibility for the vast, vast majority of kicking into 22.

and up the field there but when they run kick it is a big advantage to have their left footer on the left because they're exposed to the backfield everyone's on their feet for the kick chase and again you have to think about that against like you don't want to kick loosely against Bordeaux because that's where they'll rip you apart whether it's Bourassa fullback or Rayassi

You know, so that's going to be interesting.

So that's a big advantage for James Lowe, I think, and Jimmy O'Brien, that they are natural left footers.

But yeah, you think in terms of momentum and game time, Rico and Tommy O'Brien are the most likely wingers, I think.

Yeah, I totally get you, Johnny.

I think Leinster will be absolutely focused on 22 entries.

How can they get set pieces or opportunities to get into 22?

And I think Bordeaux's defence, it's a very different type of defence than Leinster, but it's actually very well organised.

I'm thinking back to the Bristol game in the group stages, the Toulon and Bath games.

When they have to defend, they defend...

very well.

They work really hard off the ball.

I think Leinster will kick a huge amount and then try and save their energy for when they get into that 22, that direct power game that has been quite good for them.

You know, playing off Gibson Park, hard around the corner, square on the line, good clean, long cleans.

And they're very hard.
