Hey Joe, delighted to be on.

And Tommy's one of my favourite players.

Not anymore.

Yeah, sorry, I was confused there.

When you said my ears were burning, I thought it was around the negativity surrounding Leinster leading into this semi-final.

I didn't realise it was in reference to that comment from Tommy.

Yeah, look, that was a real low point for me.

I did pride myself on not throwing too many intercepts and that was largely down to assessing the option and then executing on it.

The ball just didn't come out of my hand cleanly.

I actually think it may even have gone marginally forward out of my hand.

It was...

It was a big deluge of rain before we played and the ball was kind of slippy throughout the game.

There was good space on the outside.

It was a really nice opportunity and that was why it was such a good punch because it was a really nice opportunity for us to potentially score even though it was only around the halfway line.

Thinking back on it, there was an easier pass there to be had.

I think Jordy Murphy was outside me.

That would have nullified the opportunity of the intercept.

It is a total feeling in the pit of your stomach when you get intercepted like that, and that's such a key part of the game.

Yeah, it was devastating and one that I'll probably never get over.

The final was in touching distance and obviously Toulon, who we would have beaten, went on to win it.
