I actually got scared watching and not from the point of view of good Bordeaux.
I saw a lens team where everything went against them.
You know, the touch of the hand, obviously the intercept, that ricochet of Kia.
And then, but the way they marched Bordeaux so many times towards the 22, I thought was good.
I mean, I know it's...
look a highly resourced French team great in transitions physically really powerful but there was a lot about the Leinster game which worried me so you know that I thought that wasn't it didn't feel like that sort of score to me I think it was really unlucky for that I'm not being polite I actually texted our coaches afterwards that boys it's gonna be tough you know because of how they set up just the way they can march you from the halfway to five yards they get the penalty they tap move try or whatever it is and that's uh so I thought there's a lot more I think there are
overreaction from what I've seen from the outside here.
I think it's an overreaction to what is a pretty mean team.
Because he's a very...
uh sort of benign guy you know in the public he doesn't want like the doesn't like so maybe a button was pushed i didn't i just read the quotes i don't know the context of how he said them but you know i was slightly surprised it got maybe he's just had enough of um because this noise around jacques isn't brand new is it it's been going since he was appointed yeah and there's an unfortunate quote about the devil which will never land you know i mean like dealing with the devil that's
in South Africa that will be taken up a certain way maybe differently to how it would be in Ireland that we kind of we use it as a throw away phase and that's do a deal with the devil but in South Africa it might be picked up differently yeah I think I absolutely get how it was used here it wasn't saying it was a devil and yeah I'd probably say the same thing but you know like every South African team prays before and after a game you know so it may not have yeah and I think maybe from Jacques' point of view less about the religious side
He was walking away from the national team, you know what I mean?
And he wanted to do something different and positive for his family and move somewhere in Europe and that sort of thing.
And then sort of to be seen as this sort of archetypal South African sort of monster in terms of, I think, was tough.
And if you look at that final, how much of that was around defence?
You know, that, OK, maybe they're chasing before halftime to get the try on the intercept.
The two others, you can't really, there's no way it's a Jacques story, you know, not at all.
Because he's a very...
uh sort of benign guy you know in the public he doesn't want like the doesn't like so maybe a button was pushed i didn't i just read the quotes i don't know the context of how he said them but you know i was slightly surprised it got maybe he's just had enough of um because this noise around jacques isn't brand new is it it's been going since he was appointed yeah and there's an unfortunate quote about the devil which will never land you know i mean like dealing with the devil that's
