And I think then, you know, you're kind of,

They probably would have talked a lot about how they could hurt this team.

Leinster, traditionally, are a side who can move the ball.

They're very clinical in what they do, so they kind of go back to see him.

And I think that that kind of actually played into Bordeaux's hands.

It kind of showcased a little bit at the end there with that intercept that actually leads to the try at half-time.

It's because they're putting lots of phases together.

They're trying to do something at that point to get themselves back into the game.

But I think you're right.

The more pressure that was put on you, I know it's only six penalties, but those

Those penalties and those, I guess, the side like that, a big, physical, heavy side who just squeeze the life out of you when they can, but has the ability then to exploit you whenever they've got a bit of free licence to do it.

So it's obviously a difficult one for Lent.

So it was probably masked a little bit by the fact that they've scored very early in the game.

And to go 7-0 up, I think they've kind of...

they maybe just kind of maybe took stock and maybe went well actually this is great this is the way to do it but obviously from that Bordeaux is similar to the game the night before you've seen quick early scores for both teams and then you've just seen the two French teams kind of go right we've kind of got the mask of these lads we know what to do and they just kind of upped their game a little bit and

within minutes that's the thing with French teams within 15-20 minutes they can take the game away from you and then you're chasing shadows and I think that's what probably Leinster probably got shocked a little bit in that 20 minute window which they meant they were just trying to get themselves back in the game and once the game's gone it's easy to see opportunities when the game's gone whenever the opposition are just maybe taking foot off the gas a little bit

Yeah, no, I think, you know, what Bert was talking about hit the nail on the head.

For me, I've always, since I've come into coaching, I've always been on the sideline.

And I'm not just a fella who runs the tee on.

It is conversations.
