He made his points.

And I don't argue with any of the points.

The fans do get a coach sacked.

The fans do.

And I'm sure that the fact that whatever, they said 9,000 people were there on Saturday night, that's worrying.

That's worrying for Leinster's financial accounts.

I'm sure the coaches, Leo, will be aware of that, that that's not a good sign.

Also in terms of their popularity or people believing in the project, etc.

So the fans do get sacked.

He's 100% right there.

Now he's saying that the media tell the fans and the fans then get sacked.

I don't think that's true either.

I'm sure it can influence, yeah.

But also, I think the media, I'd like to hope, are looking at their own eyes and writing pieces or narratives around what they see.

But yeah, I do agree with everything Jack said.

The only thing I would wonder, and again, I don't know if this, but a friend of mine who understands South Africans very well, taught maybe the line, make a deal with the devil, from a religious point of view, people in South Africa, that could be something that stirs it up more than we just see it as a throwaway remark.

I don't know, like the fact that you remember that line,

and quoted that shows that that has annoyed him for a long time and he sat on it but again the fact that it was a quote made by Rudds he remembered who said it and he challenged Rudds to his face and they discussed it and went back and forth I thought it was a fascinating press conference now where does it leave Leinster I think it's not ideal really I think you want your coaches to feel valued and it wasn't clear

It wasn't clear whether he was valued by the fans, the media and Leipzig.

That wasn't clear.
