No, I don't believe for one second that Leo planned to make those statements.

I think I was very surprised, as everybody else was, about his post-match comments.

Leo, as we know, is very understated, whether they win or lose.

It's a very mundane interview.

Whether they win or lose, he's able to contain his emotions.

And for some reason, and I'll give you my insight in a moment, he did go off piste, I thought, big time,

particularly kind of having a run at the media, probably never the best thing to do.

And I mean, that's up to him to have his say.

The pressure's obviously building on Leinster to get a result, to get a European Championship.

They've been so close so many times in recent years and it's just fallen short.

But I think that the way the game ended probably had him in a state of shock, to be honest, because...

They were so much in control of the game.

I mean, I thought they looked a better team for 70 minutes.

They were just in control of the game.

Everything was going well for them.

The set-piece was going well.

The line-up was working.

The scrum was very dominant, in fact.
