That's in the whole game, which is an incredible one.
But Leinster just seemed to, when the pressure comes on, when the opposition turn the screw...
whether they're trying to quell momentum or whether it's just the pressure of it, they just can't handle it.
But I thought some of the penalties they gave away were, like the Doris penalties, like he can't continue what he's doing.
Like this, I'm going to go over, I'm going to put my hand on the ball and pretend I'm going to poach it and then ask the referee for forgiveness afterwards.
With an RFU referee, they have them well marked.
So he's not going to let you away with that.
We're probably going to have an RFU referee for the final as well.
So we have to do a lot of homework on that area.
Yeah.
The frustrating ones for me are the ones he's given away are preventable.
They are definitely preventable.
There's even a time where he's half swung around the rook and he goes for the ball and Pierce just turns around and goes, no, can't do it.
He actually compliments him and says, well done.
And then he moves on and then he couldn't resist going for it again.
It's so frustrating.
I'd say the coaching box are just tearing their hair out at this stage.
Yeah, you're definitely counting up the true penalty count, not the ones that are actually awarded.
You know, because if there's persistent issues around your defence, you're going to have to highlight that with players.
Even the James Ryan one, which wasn't penalised, he is lying all over the ball.
