Now, the challenge that Leinster will have is
the strength of the, the natural strength of the Bordeaux forward ball carrier is still pretty strong.
So they can get go forward ball a lot.
But I think one of the outcome goals for Nian Barr will be to force Jalabair down into cul-de-sacs.
And that's where the physicality, I don't mean old school stuff of beating up the number 10, but I mean, being really physical around the, the,
presentation of that ball.
Can Doris and Vander Fleer double team over any ball that Jala bears coming in?
He, we know him.
He's one of the best half breakers in world rugby.
He's offloading game was outrageous.
And Luke at nine, his work rate, like he's all the stuff that Matt has said, but if you just watch him, the amount of times he arrives at a half break,
60 meters from where he passed the ball originally and as the player is putting the ball on the deck he's the very first person in his work rate is off the charts and it just keeps the flow of ball i think that the the word that we would often hear even use is that sense of transition the speed at which they can transition from being under pressure and then ultimately scoring tries so i think lenzer's kicking game along in combination
with the offensive defense is of huge importance.
Any loose kicking would be rudely, rudely punished.
So that brings Gibson Park and Harry Burns and their kicking game, their kicking style, and also gives a window maybe that James Lowe as a left footer has a role to play in this fixture.
He has, but for me, Tommy O'Brien, it would be a cruel blow if he doesn't start.
I think he's one of those guys that you would absolutely hate to play against.
I think he's relentless.
He's really, really quick.
He is so impactful.
