The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

Yeah.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

Do you know what it kind of struck out to me?

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

It was a little bit like the Champions Cup final.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

Very heavily one-sided.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

One team never, never showed up, never got off the bus, never got off the plane for the Bulls in the Bulls case.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

And the team is better equipped, kind of just took more advantage.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

So Bulls had more disadvantage coming into it.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

Those Leinster going into the Champions Cup final were heavily underdogged.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

So, yeah, it kind of just felt a little bit like that.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

If things went Leinster's way, they always had that in the back pocket.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

You wanted the Bulls to get off the flight and to really show up.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

That passage, maybe 65 to 75 minutes, where you're looking at that going...

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

If the Bulls were able to deliver that for 50 minutes, what would the game have been like?

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

What I'm feeling is for the Bulls to be able to do that, it needs to be in South Africa.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

The overarching thing that I have in the back of my head, kind of rooting around, is if anybody's watching the State of Origin, I've been following Andrew John's fundatory and it's just been eye-opening.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

It brings me really back to the fundamental time I started playing rugby and started thinking about rugby.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

One of the overarching comments he's talked about is talking about the jump from club rugby to State of Origin.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

Stuff that gets you away at club rugby won't get you to, you won't get away with it at the state of origin.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

You have to be better, you have to be a better coach, you have to be better prepared, you have to be all these things because you're playing against better players.

The Counter Ruck
Leinster win back-to-back URC titles

And in this instance, I think a lot of the Bulls players, a lot of key individuals had really, really poor games.
