This might be a bridge too far.
This is as tough an assignment as you can get when you've got a low number of internationals and two of them aren't traveling.
You know, it's going to be really, really tough on you.
They might circle the wagons for a while, but to go 80 minutes altitude, like there's a lot of things against them.
I know they only arrived on Wednesday.
That acclimatization takes a while.
This is a tough assignment for them.
Yeah, I think the frustration with Leinster is they can be so impressive.
Like I wrote about their class disrupted by their discipline and errors, you know, because up until the Jameson-Gibson Park knock-on, I thought they were so classy, like their entries were efficient.
Had they scored there, I thought it was going to be just a complete and utter formality, but...
you know they they're definitely making things hard for themselves um and you could talk about all the different factors within that but i think the the positive spin on that is like they're not playing their best rugby they're um they're they're getting through anyway like and they're getting gritty wins and there's a lot of resilience that comes with that and and maybe they're going into the final with less expectation and people having to cut off them and and obviously leo's you know producing his narrative that the world is against them and you know for the last couple years they were
cruising at the finals and all the way on their shoulders and maybe you know they're um ironically this is probably their year isn't it but as you said there's so much good stuff within there um they're attacking rugby like they they clearly look for porter to get on the ball as well because i'd say i'd say he turned up in a couple of moments in the 22 but there was also a peel off a line out where he came from the front of the line out normally you'd see
you know your jack conan getting on that but it was actually andrew porter they they kind of maneuvered it far so uh lots of positives in there um and then the other side of the coin like i know we'll speak about it in a couple weeks properly but like with bordeaux they're not exactly bulletproof either they're unbelievably talented but on the day they can have a couple of their own errors and they haven't lit up the top 14 either so it's not unachievable at all i think lengths are in a really good position despite some of the negatives around their game
I think that's the impressive part of their game.
Even with 13, they were able to put structure on the game and absolutely dictate the physical proceedings as well.
So not dissimilar to what I thought they did in the first quarter.
The first and third quarters were where they won the game.
that's the huge positive of it because I think when they've got clarity on what they're doing and they've obviously got the individual quality as well to convert that, they don't need to do anything special.
You can just see... Now, they've definitely tried a little bit in their attack.
You can see, like, after a first phase, they get around the corner, they've got a little bit of a different shape.
