You wouldn't be taking much pride in the fact that they scored the amount of points they scored and still lost a match.

So the narrative is coloured slightly by whether you win or lose the game.

I don't think too many Toulouse fans would be happy to have taken part in a great game this afternoon.

So I think that there are elements of what they're doing as well.

Like if you analyse the rugby as well, some of it isn't brilliant, but it is entertaining.

It's good entertainment is what I'd describe it as.

I agree with Gordon 100% on his analysis there of what it was.

I thought that Leinster used no footwork, didn't resource Rooks well enough, were beaten on the game line, if you like, lost a lot of the collisions.

And as a result of that, didn't get to play.

And when they did find a way through, they again, some of their handling, decision-making wasn't great.

And in the conditions, it was difficult because it lashed rain and it was a greasy ball, but

My God, Sale kicked the ball.

George Ford just kicked the ball.

It was like watching backs and forwards in old-fashioned, old-school, almost like a soccer match.

They just kicked the ball back to Leinster and said, off you go again.

And their only tactic seemed to be trying to kind of turn over ball and play.

Even I was going to say play a little bit of turnover ball, but I'm not so sure they played of turnover ball either.

So their ambition was a poverty of imagination and what they were trying to do other than be hugely muscular and stopping.

They were stopping Leinster from playing, which they were very successful at and you give them credit for in the way they went about it.

But once Leinster prized a little bit of daylight on the scoreboard, Sale realised that, well, how are we going to win the match now?
