But Sheehan comes up, Ringrose comes up, Ioanni comes up and the three of them end up within half an arm's length away from each other.

Yeah, Toulon just pulled them apart.

For me, that decision is like, it doesn't matter what your defensive system is.

The onus is on the attacking team now to go for it.

So you can just push up on the first deep pass and then just build a line and just let them pass it across the field and then build your defensive line.

But it just went out.

It genuinely is like they never defended together at the most.

potentially the most important part in the game.

And Joe McCarthy bursts his absolute nut to get back and cuts off the pace.

Because if McCarthy hasn't got him in behind there, if that's a one-on-one with Prendergast and... Gail Jay-Anne.

And that's very unfair on Sam Prendergast.

If it's a one-on-one with anyone with him at full pace, it's an unlikely outcome.

Exactly, that's what I was trying to say, yeah.

So that's the bit for me where I'm saying, just to reinforce my point, that is easily fixable, but you also need somebody there like Scott Penny who's on there to go, you know, because it will be over calls, it will be over, so there'll be a call to say, we just need to hover.

When you've gone up on that first really deep pass, you can just sit there and,

and build a shape and then they've got to do two passes to go deeper to go around you but then you only have to just slide horizontally across the field it's it's it's almost like defense 101 but

It's easy, in theory, it's not easy when you're scrambling to stay in a semi-final of a Champions Cup.

But they're the moments that matter.

So I think just a couple of points to jump in on there.

They have not been outplayed.
