Yeah, I just thought that maybe the ref was just taking a bit of sympathy at that stage.

He was just not going to go.

I listened to the game with the ref, Mike,

There's definitely been a change.

There's definitely been a change that we want to play ball and hand a bit more.

I'm trying to work out whether that's just the coaches have set together and said, look, we need to change.

We want to go back to a more traditional ball and hand play game that we played under previous coaches or whether it's happening by accident.

And what I mean by that is,

When you go through, we had something like 55 or 54, 55% possession and it looks really impressive.

But if your possession is not really going forward and it's a bit like Barcelona playing football where we just kind of pass the ball around the back and we keep possession for the sake of keeping possession.

So it took 19 phases to score that first try.

If you go through the tap play that we played just outside our own 22 in the last minute of the first half,

There's phase after phase where, yeah, we've got across the halfway line.

We were eventually picked off at that intercept.

Well, that's phase after phase of keep ball, keep ball.

My concern would be that the phase set up and the shape set up isn't really a threat to the defense.

So when you go through Bordeaux and watch them again, they have a tackler, that's it, a tackler, that's it.

Whereas Leinster are resourcing rooks with four or five bodies.

And if you put it really, really simple, the resourcing four of your team means you've got 11 people ready for your next attack.

One of them is your nine.
