When you've got those kind of

dense carries to make where you look no matter who it is you're running into big bodies but you need the likes of McCarthy to fight through two two long bodies to get you to the game line create quick rope ball and then Leinster can start to play and

So, yeah, look, I've confidence that it can click for them.

It's slowly been coming together, but they haven't put it together for 80 minutes just yet.

But I'm hopeful that both the defence and the attack comes together this weekend.

One of the people who are optimistic about this Leinster team, which is ironic, I sometimes feel like the Leinster spokesperson.

No, I am.

That's the sort I'm willing to go.

Yeah, I know.

And it hasn't, there hasn't been one occasion, you know, that, that it has, you know, we've seen glimpses of, you know, 10, 15, 20 minutes, maybe a half here and there.

But, um, I've said on multiple occasions, maybe not on this show, but I've said it to people, whether it's Royal News and on comms, I think today's the day and it hasn't been, but I'll be saying it again on Saturday and hopefully it happens for me.

Yeah, and I think Bordeaux get over the line against Bath.

I think their wake-up call came last week.

So, yeah, I think Leinster-Bordeaux final.

I remember the intercept, unfortunately.

Ian Madigan probably won't be loving the whole build-up this week.

I'm sure that'll come up a couple of times.

But yeah, I think I remember watching any of those games.

They were an unbelievable two-long side.

I remember Leinster kind of always put it up to them and maybe fell short a couple of times.
