I go back to this to me is the key point when Leinster, you look at the timing of the of the runs.
The rucking was more accurate.
So players are able to get their timing, whether they're running off Lukaku or they're running off Chalabert.
And the rucking was better and more accurate.
And they knew when they had a genuine opportunity.
But this is the key point, I think, for me.
When the opportunity presents, you have to take it.
If you have a requirement to build a shape, so even Gary Ringrose's try, it's still the option is to go out the back and they just made a read and he played the front door.
Cormac Isachewski's try, that was a manufactured try as well.
You know, it was the big guy who wasn't, he wasn't there by chance.
He was there.
Hume was coming in late and he gets, gets the ball received.
And is it Chukwu who's coming and he makes the right decision.
And then you just have a natural athlete who's able to, who's able to run it in.
But it's still manufactured.
Whereas I think with Bordeaux, there's just a little bit more.
It's on, Jalabert gets the, has an over call, has the call.
They don't need to have two passes to,
accept the opportunity if you know what I mean so you don't have to have the pivot pass from the forward to get the ball to go in behind to go around to get an opportunity they're much more flexible with taking opportunities and look this might be reading too much into things because what happens in a warm-up is very different to what happens on a training ground when no one's watching but
What's that saying?
