Well, I would be much more balanced, I would say, on that.

I think his performance reflects the game in a totality in that the Bulls never really stressed the Leinster defence.

So, as I was saying, they were very...

And South African teams are very telegraphed as to how they're going to carry the ball.

They never isolated, they never tried to isolate Prendergast.

They didn't particularly go after him, but mostly because they weren't able to go after him because they were in a game.

So a big part of the credit goes to Leinster for the 23-man effort and the way coaches and everything have set up in the game plan and the execution of the game plan and

how James Simpson Park controls the game and how Prendergast controls the game.

But ultimately, he was never left in a one-on-one situation in that.

So I think I'd be more balanced in that Leinster were so much in control.

And this is what you get with a player like Sam Prendergast.

When Leinster are in control, he looks like Rolls-Royce.

But when the game comes into the balance where you need players to stand up on their collective merits, but also on their individual merits as part of the collective merits,

that is where he struggles.

And he didn't have to do that today, which is great.

And as I was saying, that's part of, and he was part of that collective effort.

So I'm not taking anything away from his performance, but I'm also trying to be a little bit more balanced in it and saying a man of the match performance, yes, but with context.

Well, missed tackles are part of the game.

I'm not trying to highlight a missed tackle for him.

I'm just saying in the areas that he's struggled in other games this season,
