It wasn't talked about all that much.

It was such a bad spectacle last year.

You know, it was over before halftime, really.

46,000 went.

What was the final score again?

Something seven.

Was it 32-7?

32-7.

Everyone's telling me it's going to be better this year.

So it's sort of him versus Caelan Dorris side show, yeah?

So you both agree this Bulls team, they're on an eight-match winning streak, did what they did away to Glasgow.

This should be proper.

How many words did you write about Willy LaRue?

The heat as well is something they're talking about a bit.

This one gave the feeling, God, they've had their peak and they're now retreating from genuine contenders, the right side of the draw, and then the first proper team they come up against.

It was a very chastening day.

And there is the sense, I mean, the academy's not coming through

with the conveyor belt, frankly, which has been ludicrous for the last two decades.

And there are a bunch of retirements coming in the next two or three years.

There is just a brutal sense now, Leinster, a little bit over the hill and on the wane.
