Brett Igoe

And we know how influential he can be from previous performances as well.

So sometimes you just have those games where the ball seems to hit the inside of your foot or you don't.

You're nearly looking up to see where it went.

And Harry Byrne's such a good...

kicker of the ball he's got a brilliant strike that's how we started speaking about him again wasn't it he came back and started kicking that goal really consistently and that's how he got back into the conversation so to be honest I think Leinster winning without a brilliant performance from an out half it just adds another thing that won't go as wrong I would say the next time out they won't get as many errors from their 10

I think the troubling thing for Leinster is that Sam Prendergast didn't come on and cause any headaches.

That's the part that, as a coach, you're kind of going, well, I've got a freebie here because none of the two of them have really shot the lights out and they've picked Harry Byrne.

I don't think he did enough wrong to take him out of the squad.

There were kicking errors, but at the same time, Sam Prendergast didn't come on, unfortunately, and make anyone think too hard.

So, as you say, I can't see anyone else starting that game besides Harry Byrne and managing him through the next couple of weeks to get there.

Yeah, I agree with Brett.

I think he's gone slightly too far, but Caelan Dorris is a guy that has huge moments in games.

Like we spoke earlier about the turnover where Harry Burnett kicked it out on the full.

And I suppose that's a moment where he's taking pressure off his team and he does that consistently.

quite a bit but at the moment you know taking pressure off his team is not actually happening as much as putting himself under pressure and his team under pressure because i think they're trying to solve the problem in the actual moment and they've no patience around trying to get out of that pressure you know so you can't just decide i'm going to fix it now by taking the ball back and he's offside like you know so offside around the breakdown still deciding that the rules don't apply or the laws don't apply to him and uh and trying to get away with it so i i actually think he's mostly responsible for harry burns yellow cards

obviously Harry Burn has gone offside through pressure Andrew Porter yellow card they're deep in their own 22 but again trying to be too aggressive I think it goes back to their line speed and defence and trying to be too aggressive at times where they just need to consolidate a small bit and it's very hard to take the competitive edge away from a fella that's the problem but

You know, these are the players that traditionally Darius has gotten the right and good leaders, good players get, you know, they kind of know when to do it and when not to do it.

But, you know, your question on the captain, sometimes the captain will give away a penalty or two because they get so many moments across the game.

The net positive is there to see.

Yeah, I don't think it's the referee.
