You look at Gibson Park, Harry Byrne, Robbie Henshaw are all coming up on a drift.

So one pass took out three defenders.

There's your problem.

You're going to have to set wider.

I'm looking at this now.

So like they moved reasonably late, you know, BLB are ease on the inside, but like Harry Byrne has to adjust wider on that.

Okay, so it was a width and spacing issue.

Because of the width of the pass, and it's unfortunate, but because of the width of the pass from Lukaku, everybody then starts, because they haven't adjusted, then they end up on this kind of up and out.

And then Ricky Ioane is coming, is kind of going, okay, well, I'm actually quite narrow here.

And he gets caught because he's

coming up and then tries to cut off the pass but is never going to be able to cut off the pass so until if they don't adjust to their line where they can come up square and flat they're always then chasing the ball outwards if you know what I mean so once the ball goes across Harry Byrne to Mo Fanna Harry Byrne has come up and then has to push out so it's almost you've got the first three players doing almost a drift

So for Leinster, they didn't know where Bordeaux were going to be attacking.

They really struggled with that.

And because it's not a natural defence for them, there wasn't any certainty.

So even on that try that we were talking about off the scrum,

had they been able to shift a yard or two wider and then come up and in, there's every chance Gary Ringlows may have gotten Bielberry or Jalabier in behind that rook.

But because he was narrow, he was coming inside up, which always meant the defender was going to be able to get the pass, the attacker was always going to get the pass away.

but they didn't have certainty because they didn't know where they were going to go.

In the build-up to the first try, Coleman is just standing randomly on the short side and Lukaku just hits him with a pass and suddenly Leinster are having to scramble to the... So that... Because Bordeaux didn't know exactly where they were attacking.

So how can the defence... This goes back to one of those principles I've talked about before and why Leinster are sometimes easily defendable because they still play to a system and a structure.
