So there's not a case of, you know, you've got less players to play.

Often when you're on a tour and you've got 23, 24, 28 players, it's a bit difficult.

A couple of guys with injuries, you can't really do much.

But if you've got 32 fit players and you can do, you know, scenario planning, it's much easier.

So that's the bonus.

Like you said, two weeks now to get all the niggles out.

And I suppose, you know, the lessons they learned in the three defeats they've had in those finals.

You know, that team also, they lost the Rainbow Cup final when I first started to Benetton away.

So they've served their time.

But, you know, I also am a realist.

I know that that doesn't give you the right to run out and win.

And I'm hoping that...

I'm hoping that they see that as that, is that there's not a given.

You're still going to have to play and play really well to beat Leinster because nothing's changed.

I still think Leinster is the benchmark of this competition.

I mean, you guys are journalists and Bernard talks about it.

I mean, they are upset and they rightly upset whoever, the coaches and the players and the...

Because they are better.

They are better than the results they've got in the last five years.

And that's why they know it.
