If you rewind back and have a look at two, three, four phases beforehand, you can actually see Lukaku looking for it.

So it was definitely something they prepped for.

Like he can see his eyes looking up for those gaps, for that space.

And he just waited for the opportunity.

And the opportunity came and he was just gone.

So that was one area that I think they caused Leinster a lot of problems.

Like there's loads of examples where when they win that collision, you can see the likes of Joe McCarty, James Ryan trying to go on a fold.

And when they play,

when they play against teams where they are dominant in defence, their fold is actually pretty easy.

Like they don't have that far to go.

It's not going backwards to come forwards.

It's just like, it's more or less a straight line or they're on the front foot.

But the amount of times you saw Joe McCarthy just going backwards to try and get into that position.

And I'm not too sure any defence coach can deal with that.

And it's a tough one to take.

We've hired one of the top defence coaches in the world to fix all these problems.

But when you're on the back foot all the time, it becomes pretty difficult.

No, you can't.

And it's really tough to watch it three, four times.

And even Leinster have developed this ability to deal with the escort lines and their backfield coverage.
