I mean... No, but I think it's more fundamental than a siege mentality.

That is... Siege mentality is... That's a team under pressure.

That's a team that are scrapping for... You know, you could say that about Wales.

That's a siege mentality.

This is a team who's on the cusp of winning.

It's more fundamental than that.

Yeah, I think you have to channel it a little bit more than just, you know, being angry.

The days of the look at the newspaper column up on the changing room walls and sell tape to it going, this is what they're saying about us and that's enough to get you over the...

to get you over the line, that's short of the stereotypical GAA manager shouting at players 15 minutes before they go out and lads headbutting the waltz.

That's not what we're talking about here for this game.

I think that drive to succeed is channeling the disappointment of the last five or six years

into something more than just trying to win a final.

So it's that bigger purpose.

And I think that's where they've got it, that bigger focus, which is around this is more than just winning the final.

This is about rewriting the history books, all of those things.

And I think it's given them a real...

focus and a reason where all that effort is going to and why do we kind of have a really positive feeling about that right because we don't have it's one of the things I wrote in the column this week it's very hard to pinpoint what Leinster are really good at other than they're just really hard to beat on that though because again yeah I'll read that bit out actually that you wrote on Wednesday

The reason why there's all these things with Nienan Bar, right?

So Nienan Bar brought in a, and I've said this about him, he brought in a South African philosophy into a Irish team

and they worked on the actual technical piece of that high blitz line it wasn't natural to them like it really wasn't natural to them but yet they all got behind it and they bought into it and you know what and it looked really really good at times another piece of that was they absolutely sacrificed their attacking ambition and their attacking flair for that type of defense now
