And I think, you know, you've got Keenan, who's excellent in the air, O'Brien back, you know, Rico Ioane, I think looks like he's coming into a bit of form.

I think this Leinster team could put some pressure on this Bordeaux team.

I don't think they have to play really expansive rugby to get on top of them.

I think, you know, good, sensible rugby with, you know, very few mistakes and high discipline, I think, and that would really be a foundation for, you know, a successful match against this Bordeaux team.

Oh, I think it always is.

I mean, you know, any level of sport you want to go out and win.

But there's an added once you've gone all this way, you're at the end of the season, all the hard work that's gone in behind the scenes.

All the pain and hurt this Leinster team have felt over the last couple of years.

All those things will play some kind of factor in how they think about approaching this game.

So yeah, I think it's important that they're very calm.

And the key thing in these big games, from my experience, is trying to find that place where you have that massive physicality and aggression that you need in any rugby match.

But that you find that kind of calmness and that kind of, I suppose, a little bit of zen in what can be a very chaotic atmosphere.

that's absolutely key to find the midpoint there to be able to execute and have your best match.

And they're going to need their best match against this Bordeaux team.

So I'm not surprised to hear him say that.

And I think it's good to hear that they're kind of approaching about it and thinking about managing the mental side of the game, because that's going to be the key factor as it is in most finals.

I won't have to run out and get one.

You won't be able to resist.

Yeah, I thought they were really great.

And, you know, I think, look, it was one of those matches where it was a combination of them being, you know, very good.
