So it was all this kind of ripple effect, and it was a tough, tough time.

And then you add in the conditions,

Yeah, conceivably, it's still 35-7 at halftime.

So therein, yeah, and the game's over at halftime.

That was the worst thing about it.

I think...

You have to say that Leinster did show spirit in the second half, and some of their attacking play was good, and they did win the second half 12-6, I think, didn't they?

But their attacking play was good in the first half.

Some of it was very good, yeah, some of it was very good.

Wide balls to the left edge, yes.

No, completely.

I mean, their mantra all week was moment by moment.

And they lost so many little moments in that first half.

And the little moments add up.

You just highlight one there where Conan spilled the ball close to the line.

Now, they got away with the Hugo Keenan knock-on at the start of the game.

But there was another one I remember in the Billup 200 drives where Bielberry beats...

Tommy O'Brien in the air.

All these little moments, they won a lot more of them and they won the aerial duel as well, which meant there was more scraps to play off and we saw how lethal they can be off scraps.

They're a very complete team and they looked a more complete team than Leinster today and they're now two years unbeaten in Europe, Nathan.
