And there were doglegs all over the place.

And some of the players tried harder.

But the communication and even leadership at that stage had gone a little.

And that left them very vulnerable.

And Toulon exploited it very easily.

I think it's always parsed by the fact that of the outcome.

So if Leinster had lost that game, there would have been hair pulling on a grand scale about how they managed again to lose a lead from 2019, 29, 11.

I think it worked out well in the end.

And I think you give them credit for the first 60, 65 minutes of that performance.

It was very good, very composed.

There were a lot of qualities to it.

And it's exactly what you'd look for.

I know how much of an influence in shape defensively when Tommy O'Brien was forced off at what was described as cramp afterwards.

That made a big, big difference.

And it also highlighted how much work he had done.

And then you both pointed out there, Joe McCarthy and Rico Ioane hustled

brilliantly to shut down something in the last minute.

And that extra effort and energy was what allowed Leinster to hang on and win the game, basically, if they hadn't put in that effort.

And that's something that some of the character that you see in the team, which is what Leo spoke about, Leo Cullen spoke about afterwards.

And that's important.
