They stuck in the game.
They fought.
They were in a bit of a hole in terms of that.
You're right.
You know, best country is not for the faint-hearted when you're playing a team at home.
And, you know, they were not going to give up easy.
It didn't matter.
So they dug in and they fought.
And it was a wet day, so it was like an arm wrestle.
But I think Leinster were lucky for the three tries.
I mean, the yellow card that got Gentry's in the bin...
like Leinster pounced on that they were short on the edge there was a great start to play it put Josh Kenny through he linked up with Prendergast out to O'Brien cuts under peach of a pass in cracking line O'Shea in great try but I think the pass from Prendergast was a mile forward to O'Brien that should have come back that should never have been stood you know I mean I looked at it over and again Prendergast was a metre outside the 22 when he passed it and O'Brien was a metre inside the 22 when he caught it
So I think when you saw the pass that was called back in Limerick for Castro, I think they were lucky on that.
But that was a crucial score.
I think the second one, again, a peach of a chip over the top.
But there was three players from beyond around the ball and it bounced back to Fernandes to dot it down under the sticks.
And the last try was a line-out that went astray that Shane picked up on and they scored.
So there was an element of luck around the three tries they got.
I think on another day, you might only get one of those.
And, you know, they don't win the game if that happens, really, I think.
