the right one, but the execution was what let me down.

I never really felt like I had a full grip of the ball.

11 years later, I can still nearly visualize the ball in my hand and not fully having my fingertips on the seam the way I like it.

But yeah, look, it was really disappointing.

You would still do a review, but probably more individually with the coach as opposed to it being in front of the team.

But if there's opportunities to progress, coaches aren't going to miss it.

No, you don't.

And even leading into a week like this, where we're playing Toulon again, it does bring up those memories and just that feeling of regret.

And that's what sport gives you.

It's an opportunity to do it on the day.

And if you don't take it, unfortunately, you're going to carry it with you for probably the rest of your life.

And that's certainly the case for me as I progressed towards my 40s.

It's certainly not getting any easier.

Yeah, I think it has a little bit.

I think...

There's no individual one reason.

Rudd mentioned a few of them there, the likes of the bank holiday, cost of living.

I think the RDS fatigue or Aviva fatigue from not having the RDS, it was always a special thing to move from the RDS to the Aviva for Leinster's big games and the hype that they would get around that.

The reality is when you've got 15,000, 20,000 in the Aviva, it's not a brilliant stadium as regards the atmosphere.

And that has largely been the case for the majority of the season for Leinster.
