Yeah, I think 7.5 out of 10 in terms of overall performance, but probably 9, 9, 10 out of 10 in terms of physicality and a little bit of grit and resilience.

Like, we don't know how the game... It did look like Leinster were starting to wobble a little bit, and then there was the 20-minute red, and obviously then the following, the Morat yellow card, which I thought was harsh, and then the game was gone, you know?

But Leinster, in fairness...

They just made some bad decisions in attack.

I mean, they were literally half a meter from scoring and I think Prendergast called for the ball and not a great position to call for it as well.

And he obviously hadn't got a, he only called for that if it's a walk-in and he got trapped kind of behind the game line, they turned it over.

Some of their other, some of their decision making, kicking the ball away in wrong areas or some of their passing was a little bit sloppy.

The breakdown was pretty good.

I think they limited Paul Davidia to one turnover.

And that was, that was especially impressive because like there's some of their collisions, they're actually getting knocked back on their carries.

So it's obviously harder to resource that rook then.

So I thought the breakdown work was more than okay.

But just that fluidity.

And again, you know, given that Leinster train against that kind of defence all the time, they looked quite spooked by it, you know, and ended up being quite direct and that suited the Stormers.

So definitely from an attacking point of view, you'd have to hope that they'd be able to find space a little bit easier against the Bulls because physicality is going to be the same.

So you're going to have to

be a little bit braver or have a trust your skill set to find space but from a physicality grit you know bounce back from Bordeaux I know they bounce back against lines but that was one way traffic this was a proper contest with a lot of jeopardy and they managed it pretty well

I actually don't think he...

I'd say he knew very little about it.

It's not like his feet were on the ground and he raised them up to kick it.
