Gordon D’Arcy

And then Leinster just ran out of numbers.

And that's where the French are really, really good at it, where they condense a defence and they make you commit numbers to the breakdown.

They made Leinster do that time and time again.

I'll continue my chat with Gordon after the break.

The set piece was largely the same, but the initial carries, I just felt that Leinster looked predictable.

They didn't play off 10 much, not really.

Just look like Bordeaux played off 10 a lot more in the midfield.

I think the rucking probably was a little bit more accurate.

And Leinster just looked, yeah, and they also looked a little bit leggy.

When Bordeaux had possession, they were much clearer with what they were trying to do with it.

And I don't think Leinster were particularly good at that.

You could say that ambition for zero ruck tries in Bordeaux.

I don't think there is that same ambition in Leinster or clarity in Leinster.

Like Ciarán Frawley, if he starts the game, you could just easily flip it around.

He wasn't going to have that better impact.

The flip to defence hasn't worked.

I think that's categoric now at this stage at a European level.

Probably it will be enough to get him to a URC final.

But the flip, the sacrifice on the attack has been regressive for me.

Yeah, it's too prescribed.
