So something has to change.
You have to change the way they're being coached or the way they're thinking about the game or you need to add some, you need to add some quality in there.
Well, whatever they're doing, it's not working.
And I think...
I would say the Neenambar and Blenndal combination has not worked.
I think we got close with going all in on defence and we've gotten close this year with the kind of embracing a wider philosophy.
But I don't think it's worked.
I don't think the game plan doesn't suit the players that they have or the players don't suit the game plan.
One way or another, it's not working.
So I think there does need to be some sort of a change there.
You look and say what Mark Sexton has done in Ulster, you get the coaching right, you get the message right, and the players will respond.
I think the approach they've taken hasn't worked.
And it might feel reductive that you're saying if the bar is the Champions Cup, it hasn't worked.
And Leinster just look...
like they're playing within themselves.
That's the bit to me feels quite stark.
It's like Bordeaux, you're playing Toulon.
They're not playing within themselves.
They're just playing.
Ulster, playing.
