RTÉ Rugby Podcast · URC Grand Final special with Jake White and Bernard Jackman · 17 Jun 2026 podcast

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.

I mean, they are better.

I mean, those players, as I said, have beaten the All Blacks and they've beaten the Springboks.

So they should consistently be able, as a provincial side, with the bonuses of Argia and Ricky Aoni and Rabbi Slamani and, you know, Geordie Barrett that they've brought in, they should...

they should be able to put away teams weak.

And I know it's been difficult with Six Nations and, you know, weaker squads.

But still, I think that the expectation of the Leinster, everybody involved in the club, and from guys who see them who aren't even involved in URC, would think that Leinster would be... And that's why, to answer your question, they too lost a final a couple of weeks ago.

So I've got no doubt they also know what it feels like to sit in the changing room, look at each other, and know they let one slip out the window, you know?

I'll tell you what I would do is I would watch the Lions-Bulls games and I would wonder why Lions beat the Bulls twice this year.

And that's why I was thinking when Bernard was talking about that week that they played the Lions, I think that if Leinster had taken their eye off the ball that week, they would have lost to the Lions.

I think that they couldn't afford to do a review of the final.

and take the eye off the ball because Lions, we're the one team that beat the Bulls twice.

They beat them home and away.

And we also know Lions are, when they're on fire, they can play attractive rugby and something similar to Leinster.
