I mean, the game was dead at that stage.

And shout out to Ian Madigan.

I mean, I know Ronan Mullan there is enjoying his Michael Alisa vindication.

Ian Madigan, you know, I stuck his neck out several times and said, trust me, the Jack Crowley, Sam Prendergast of the world, they're using a kicking tee, which is making their life more difficult.

And lo and behold, Sam Prendergast in those beautiful Predators...

Which I do think are 10% of the issue here.

Just a ball striker's dream.

Went with the more forgiving tee and kicked brilliantly.

Only missed one, a lot of difficult kicks.

So Ian Madigan, I think, watching that game was like, fellas.

That's why I had Johnny Sexton paying for lunch more often than not, you know, in our little competitions at Leinster.

Madigan spoke to us a couple of weeks back and basically said that, you know, Crowley and Prendergast, they're almost pursuing a more difficult technique in the mould of Sexton and Dave Allred.

And he said, like, you can make this easier on yourself.

And so maybe this is Prendergast doing that, which was very interesting.

What is the wisdom of the harder technique?

Yeah, it's a good question.

I mean, we drew the analogy between like blades and golf where you get a better feel.

I asked Ian that pointedly, why would you?

And he said, you'd have to ask Dave Elrod.

He didn't want to speculate so much.
