That is a missed tackle and it shows the types of missed tackles that you don't want to make.
But it was like straight over the top of Harry Burnham.
That was a massive collision win and then that's it and they're going to lose collisions.
And I know Caelan spoke about it in his press conference post-match.
They struggled to win any sort of physical battle with Bordeaux.
Yeah, a few examples.
Like as Noel mentioned in his conference, by going wide into that wide space when lens are blitzing all the time, I think he referred to as fool's gold.
And it's very easy to press the pause button on the video and go, yeah, look at all the space out there.
But
Do you have the ability to get that ball out to that space?
So I actually think Bordeaux took a slightly different route to it.
They actually attacked Leinster in around that ruck defense, very tight to the ruck.
They manipulated their pillars and you can see them doing like these small little late switches to attack more or less the negative pillar position.
So essentially the one close to the ruck.
So there's different teams that have different terminologies for it.
They call it the pillar.
So it's the first defender beside the Rook.
But it was the blindside one they went after quite a bit.
So if you see Lukaku's try, you can see, I think it was Henshaw went on an overfold.
So he left that position.
