That's you to be better.
And I think it was an important lesson and maybe a valuable lesson.
for Connacht that better decisions react to the referee they played some of their rugby which was good to see and they showed some character in that respect about bouncing back but yeah they found Montpellier's power game damaging and they found the breakdown you know difficult and Montpellier didn't let them play and once they were in catch-up mode and Gordon will know this a lot better once you're in catch-up mode in those circumstances it can be very difficult once you're in catch-up mode when your player is down

It was always a little bit of...
