Personally, thanks for the introduction.
It's tough having to watch it twice.
Tough to have watched it a third time.
It doesn't get any easier the more you watch it, unfortunately.
I just find it really interesting just to look at both teams and how they set themselves up and what they wanted to do and what they wanted to achieve.
And I just thought that I was really impressed with how UUB were set up in terms of even things like their line-out defence.
The use of Cameron Wokey, how they handled the 10-minute red or the yellow cards, how they generally attacked Leinster.
I thought it was really, really impressive.
It was like as though they looked at opposition who caused Leinster problems and they just cherry-picked the best of them and just put it all together as their game plan.
Look, it was really impressive what they did.
And unfortunately for Leinster, the wait goes on, doesn't it?
you're correct, you know, like the try they scored, they had to go through those 19 phases.
Like, in that heat, as the players keep reminding me, it was tough, you know, but that's eating on the energy levels.
It actually is causing a bit of self-doubt in the players' minds.
Mentally, how are the players fixed?
I'm not too sure I've ever seen Hugo Keenan drop
a ball that's kicked from the 20 to opposition's 22 under obviously a small bit of match pressure but in terms of like he's a Lions test player not too sure I've ever seen him just drop a cold ball like that so where were they in terms of their mental preparation when it comes to that but yet physically some of those dominant ball carries when you go through the
I think it was the third try by LBB.
Like that first ball carried by Mofana was just absolutely huge.
And I know we've jokingly had conversations about missed tackles.
