They might be underdogs, but I don't think that lessens the pressure in any way on them.

So I'm just fascinated to see how they handle that.

Yeah, I think Poirot missed the semi-final, like I said earlier, due to suspension.

And he is a big player to have back, like I mentioned, at the set piece.

And he's also, I think he's won eight turnovers, like the third highest in the tournament, which is remarkable for a loose head prop.

And I agree with you, I think Maxime Lamothe is hugely underrated.

I'm a massive fan of Marco Gazzotti.

I think he is an exceptional player.

I think we're going to see him play a lot for France over the years.

I think he's still only 21, if I'm not mistaken.

He has been such a brilliant signing for them.

And I think that's one of the big differences, Will, is that this Bordeaux team has a much more hardened edge to them, I think, up front.

You look at Boris Pallou in the second row as well.

um with Adam Coleman and they've got a pretty strong bench you mentioned Big Ben to come off to come off the bench later on in the second half now the weather definitely won't suit him that's for sure but their pack is giving the likes of Luke Goo that Jaddy Bear I mean Jaddy Bear is just playing the best rugby of his career

And we just had the Leinster press conference there.

Leo Cullen was chatting along with Dan Sheehan and Caelan Dorris.

And they were all, I was asking him about the sort of the insight that Noel McNamara is going to have.

Obviously, Noel McNamara is Bordeaux's attack coach.

Listeners will be very familiar with that.

He's the former head of the Leinster Academy and Ireland under-20s coach.
