Gordon D’Arcy

Every player, I've played with the best players in the world.

Doubt can be created in everyone's head.

They may not look it, but you can create it.

The difference is, can't you make it count?

And I love that about Sport, because there's nothing in this game between Leicester and Bordeaux.

And there's probably, you will say, Montpellier are coming in with a fairly decent favourite tag.

I think that gives Ulster a massive opportunity.

I don't think Montpellier will have the wherewithal to claw back against Ulster.

If they're not leading, I think that plays into Ulster's hands.

You can tell I'm excited about rugby for once.

That might be the six expressos I've had this morning.

But I think it is more just about genuinely excited.

It's the first time I think I have flicked into not thinking about the rugby and actually...

I think, you know, systems are planned on, you know, who's going to win the kicking battle, who's going to do this.

I've actually been thinking about the changing rooms and I've been thinking about the build-up in the week and how they were markedly different from 2009 upwards for checkout.

to the ones where it was just gone wrong.

It's a bit of doubt, you know, losing, like Munster, the ambush in the old Lansdowne Road, Perpignan.

We were just never at the races, whereas you think forward and we were just such a, it was just such a different atmosphere in the changing room.

And it's such a wonderful place to be.

Two weeks in a row now, going to Leinster games.
