It's the hurt of losing the last four finals.
What does that do for you?
It drives you up off the ground when your lungs are burning and your legs are full of lactic acid and you've got to get up off the ground, get reset, or you're chasing across the same way that Joe McCarthy and Rico did at the end of the two-long game.
And you've got to get on the inside shoulder of your defender who's outside you.
He gets sidestepped and you're there.
That want and that will.
it's not necessarily me having done analysis and telling you, this is why I think Leinster will win.
But I think that's a massive motivator and it's going to be more motivation than it is for Bordeaux going and doing the double-double.
Yeah.
Luke thinks they're going to win as well, so...
I think they'll have joy with some of their three-phase power plays.
That's, you know, Blaine Dowell will have
picked out the flaws within that Bordeaux defensive system and he'll be looking to get the mismatches of getting Leinster's most elusive players coming up against Bordeaux's most immobile players and hoping that they can get free and create an offload or slip through and then Leinster get their power game rolling from there.
Leinster are very good when they get into the opposition 22.
Very good strike right there.
There's no doubt.
Rudd touched on it already.
When you're talking about the kicking game, both of these teams kick a huge amount.
Rudd explained it well.
If you're Leinster, you want to go contestable and you want to go off the field.
