you're going in to expect it but i think the way it's happened now it did probably start as a bit of a stir and try and get people back on their site i don't think it's worked and now they're doubling down and and it probably stinks of a bit more desperation or a lack of control at this stage because if they had won i think they'd have said we started off because we created a narrative and the narrative worked i don't think the narrative has worked and now they're kind of rudderless in terms of how to communicate um i like the

I'm not sure Leinster is in the palm of anyone's hand at the moment and that's a problem.
