And I believe if they can get themselves to the right emotional pitch,

make those dominant hits, make a mess of the breakdown, frustrate the likes of White, then that's going to allow the likes of Tommy O'Brien and Gary Ringrose to get up high and get in the faces of Toulon.

And they won't have faced the line speed that Leinster are going to bring at the weekend.

And it always takes a period of adjustment.

And Ulster, it took them nearly 55 minutes to adjust to that Leinster line speed.

And that's where Leinster can capitalise and build a lead early.

I think it's very, very different.

I actually, I don't think Leinster were under pressure going into the semi-final against Northampton last year, and that's part of the issue.

Being under pressure and feeling nervous and knowing all the chips are going over the line can bring out the best in you.

And even I look at some of the defensive errors that they made that day, they lacked urgency.

The quality of their kick chase, I'd say the coaches were pulling their hair out watching it, going, this is not us.

And when you're 10, 15, 20 minutes into a game, you're thinking, right, a big moment can steady the ship here.

But that big moment sometimes needs to come from you.

Everyone was looking left and right, but not providing it themselves.

Versus this year, where the players will know, look, the tendencies have been poor, the sentiment around the team, it's not as warm as it has been in previous years.

Players feed off that.

They'll want it back.

And they know, and there's also players in this team that haven't won anything of substance.

Maybe URC last year, obviously, but they'll be measuring themselves on winning Six Nations, winning Champions Cups, making it to the semi-final and final of the World Cup.

And they know that this is a huge opportunity.
