And similarly, if I was the Bulls, I would say it's fourth final.

It's time now.

You now need to be desperate because they want to win it back to back and you want to win it away from home.

And that would be my message either way if I was in both coaches' boxes.

Well, I'll tell you what's going to be interesting.

We're not talking about the team selections yet, but I'll be interested to see what the Bulls do, Neil, from a bench point of view.

Are they going to put Wilco and the stronger team on the bench?

Because that's one area that's worked for them in the last couple of weeks as well.

He's been able to close off the game with...

with a stronger pack, or will they put all their eggs in one basket and play the best players for a longer period of time?

Because that's, you know, and the reason is because Leinster like to start quickly as well.

So, you know, you don't also want to be putting in, I don't want to say weaker, but you don't want to be putting in players that are going to assist them to gain line and, you know, points on the board.

But he's right.

I mean, I do think the one thing, and I know that I sound like I'm sort of punting Leinster, but the one thing I have learned from them is they've had the ability in the four or five years that I've been involved in the Bulls watching them, that when they've put in someone, they've found a way to surround that player with players around that.

individual who might be, I won't say weaker, but less experienced to protect him.

You know, you look at when McCarthy came into the squad as well and as a youngster and you look at all those, I mean, the way they pick their pack and the way they move locks to tight, you know, blindside flankers or, you know, putting Josh van der Vleer on with different combinations because he's older, he's been player of the year.

So I've got no doubt whoever they put at loose head prop will get all the support from the locks and the flanks and the loose forwards next to him, etc.

And it will be an area where Bulls will have a go at them.

But I also have seen Leinster put the ball in and take it out quickly so that by the time the props push there, you're already running over the inside centre.

It's something that you've got to, you know, I'm sure that, as I said, I'm not expecting them.
