I think what I was trying to say there really was that their net positive outweighs, you know, they end up with so many moments that most players kind of accept that they're going to probably cross the line at one stage or another.
And you kind of accept that because when the pressure is on and you can't see yourself winning a game, they come up with a moment as well and everyone's patting them on the back.
So you're going to take the good with the bad.
But at the moment, there's just one or two moments on the wrong side of the ledger for Caelan Dorris.
Yeah, and I think the expectation is huge on them now.
They've lost a couple where people are actually calling for heads now, aren't they?
People are questioning Leo for the first time properly in a long time, as far as I can remember.
So I reckon the pressure is ratcheting up a small bit and it goes across the squad.
They openly spoke about the fifth star and haven't gotten there yet.
So there's a lot of pressure on them and there's a lot of expectation on them, but...
You know, I think he speaks with the juggernauts of the game and like, yeah, you can speak with French budgets and kind of firepower and star power.
But what are Leinster like?
They've got a well-protected team through the RFU agreements and and they're all massive positives of the Irish rugby in their system.
Like, you know, we punch above our weight from a population perspective, not being the main main sport and all the rest of it.
But.
You can't then have a cut-off like, let's get behind us as Irish Rugby.
There's still provincial rivalry.
There are still people that don't want Leinster to win.
I think for the good of Irish Rugby, everyone needs them to win.
But he can't expect the whole country to get behind their push for a fifth star.
