Because it was catastrophic when they fell out of it.
So let's reverse that.
and get into it while also having a very enjoyable um challenge cup run because i think i've said it and we've discussed our players they were very very enjoyable to watch and the way they play the game is uh you know you love to see it on tv or being at the games or whatever else so agree with 90 of it but let's take a step forward for them to be uh to get their standards back to the very top
Yeah, I think there was another card in the Bordeaux-Bath game, which was right on the score as well.
The referee went back to it.
Look, when you look at the stats at the end of the game, it shows Leinster gave away seven penalties.
So you can walk away going, well, we were under the 10 mark.
We've reached our KPI, which is great.
The issue I have is when Toulon had that huge momentum,
We only gave away one penalty.
However, there was actually five awarded when you actually go through it.
So obviously the yellow card came for Porter's high shot.
But if you go back again, there's three or four penalties before that, which the referee has warned.
He's given Caelan a team warning.
And when the team warning comes in, you've got to just put the handbrake up and just go, look, we're not going to give away any more penalties.
I thought the Harry Byrne one, he is offside.
He's one and a half, two metres offside.
And on a team warning, he left the referee with no choice but to give that yellow card.
In terms of what goes on behind the scenes, the normal KPI is eight or less.
If we go back to those great all-black wins that Ireland had, we're giving away four or five penalties.
