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.
So it's, as Gordon touched on there, there are things that are fixable in terms of what they did when they were, when players were playing out of position, we'll call it.
And that in itself was a complication in the last 15 minutes of the game.
So for the majority of the game, two thirds of the game, they're good, they're focused, they're accurate, they're cohesive.
They could have scored a couple more tries.
It could have been they could have blown the game wide open and won it a lot easier had they taken one or two other chances and they were lucky on two occasions.
And that would have been a lot easier.
So I think that if you're focusing, the glass is half full.
