And then the way Toulon play, like the nine is really the petit general.
He's the decision maker.
And that's where they're really strong with White and Baptiste Saran coming off the bench.
If they do get go forward ball and they move it to the edges, that's where they're dangerous.
But I think Leinster will be looking to stop that at source.
And then they got good pay from the aerial contest.
Coming up against the likes of Tommy O'Brien is going to be tough.
In the sale game, they got good value out of Rico Ioanni initially.
He was losing a lot of the aerial duels.
So maybe if he's starting, we might see them targeting that side.
And as we touched on, the nines are really high quality.
They'll be able to box kick accurately.
But I'd be... I'm confident that Leinster win this game.
And it can be funny in semifinals.
They can be an arm wrestle for a period of time.
But once you've kind of lost it, they can run away from you.
And maybe we see Leinster click into gear this weekend.
No, and you look at the last batch of games, Leinster are conceding a lot more points than they were around this time last year.
I'd largely draw a line through the Edinburgh game where it's a lot of intercepts.
The ones I wouldn't be drawing a line through would be some of the defensive reads that we've made, the likes of Joshua Kenny and even Hugo Keenan's had a few poor reads.
