I was like, oh, I was 28 or 29.

And he's like, oh, well, I'd be 28 or 29 before I fell into it.

I was like...

judging by the height of your mum and your in-laws I said you'll probably be filling it by the time you're about 13 so you'll be alright oh he's a tall kid is he yeah he's going to be the smallest person in my own family so

We look at what Bordeaux did in the last 20 minutes.

That has to be a big concern.

No semi-finals are ever easy, but you were looking at it going, this is a really composed performance from Leinster.

I think they really struggled with the substitutions.

I think that really disorganised Leinster and just shows at this level when Toulon, when Baptiste Serin scored that try,

there was a notable change in the atmosphere and it suddenly became really tense and that was reflected into what Leinster were doing on the pitch.

So the crowd was very much in tune with what was happening on the pitch.

So when Leinster, their defence was good, they were creating opportunities, hell up over the line, a couple of TMOs, there was real energy in from the crowd.

But when that momentum flipped, it really was palpable in the stadium.

My overarching thing is very positive in that everything that is going to be picked through and trawled through and going, oh, if they do this again, a large part of the final 20 minutes is within Leinster's control.

And I think that's a really good place to be with six weeks or so left in the season.

The last defensive set, 77 minutes at 39.

And you just look at this.

It's like lads had never defended with each other.

So you've got, you know, two second rows coming up.

One of them starts ducking in behind and arguably Joe McCarty is the one that actually reads the situation the best.
