If you don't stop the football, it's a line break.

That's right, Jaminé got feet on a shooter.

Got a feed on a shooter, got round the corner, and that was it.

Well, you see, when you come up to a 100 miles an hour, you must make contact.

Because if the guy steps marginally off your line of tackle, you're fried.

You can't turn.

It's like driving a car at 100 miles an hour and trying to turn a corner.

You won't get round the corner.

So it's that you're so committed to the contact that if the contact isn't there when you arrive...

there's no contact and that's what happened with shooters but Leinster have succeeded that a bit they've they've scrambled off those and saved themselves a lot of times but throughout the season but I just think that they that last 10 minutes they did they did Leo acknowledged as well to be fair to him he said we we did try and defend rather than attack we came out we came we set off a bit uh we we gave them the edges uh they had nothing to lose we kind of brought them onto us yeah

and their consequences and the problem with the blitz defense and if it works it's outstanding it's claustrophobic and we see when it does but if it doesn't work it's also catastrophic in the other direction because you don't have any recovery the scramble is your only chance and if teams have gas on the edge i'm so serious gas the scramble mightn't work they get around the corner you just want to read them in

I definitely thought it looked very polished at times.

I think they were moving the point of contact.

What they've done really well, when Leinster are in their zone in attack, is they have big horses who can carry into and knock you on your backside and win collisions.

And they're also very good at moving the point of contact.

So you don't know where they're coming.

So the classic one, as I said, play was, they ran the double pod on the tap penalty for Josh van der Vleer's strike.

They went across the front pod.

So the guys sitting down the front pod are dead.

It goes to the second pod, it goes out the back off Doris and van der Vleer's onto the sticks.
