took a little bit of responsibility for that when he came on for the try.

You could see he was scanning, he's scanning, his head was moving all the time, looking, looking, looking, and he was talking and kind of micro-chatting it.

But I would be very critical of those four players because everybody was going, oh, I thought you were, and that's the problem.

I'm not disagreeing with you.

I suppose what I'm trying to get at is not judging the outcome.

I want to judge the decision making and the lead up to it.

So in that case, Robbie doesn't get a get out of jail free card because he hasn't organized anything either.

All it takes is one person to be very clear about where they are, who they are in that case.

And they're the ones that take control of the situation.

So out of four players, nobody took control.

And it ends up falling between the cracks.

Eight players from Ulster?

I thought the Ulster players had a massive impact in the final 20 minutes that came on from the bench.

I thought they were all very good and they brought a little bit of confusion into that final thing.

I don't think the result was ever in danger, but I thought that try had a lot of Ulster fingerprints on it, which isn't a bad thing.

Yeah, I think with all the context, with everything that's happening around us, end of season, Leicester being the main feeder into the team, losing Balakum just before the kick-off.

Yeah, I'd be really, really happy with it.

There's lots of work-ons, set-piece completely malfunctioned, but they looked like when they got into the 22, they got within 10 metres of the try line.

They looked like they were going to be able to out-muscle Australia.

So that was a good place to be.
