And then there's a lot of line breaks at wide.
Now, what Leinster do against line breaks very statistically, they scramble brilliantly.
It's the turn and burn.
It's turn and burn and reel them in.
And you saw that, actually.
Ulani reeled in the break.
But with the pace Bordeaux have... Yes.
Your scramble is probably going to get fried, you know.
It was like two or three things coming together.
One is, you're right, you know, Toulon just cut loose.
They had nothing to lose at this stage.
Three scores down.
If we lose by four scores, it doesn't matter.
They have gas on the edge.
They got to the edges.
Leinster's line speed did slow a bit.
A bit of that is...
you start to worry in your head, oh my God, they're coming at us and you don't get off the line as hard.
Or guys get off the line isolated and they get picked off.
And Leinster do come out of the line in isolation and it's great if you make the hit because the ball stops, but if you come out of the line on a blitz or even on a drift defence, you have to stop the football.
