they will force it.
You know, if they love to play and they're going to continue to play, that's just the way this team goes about their business.
So I think if they can get on top of them defensively, they could force a few mistakes and put pressure on this Bordeaux team.
And if they're good in the air and they do a better job of chasing and, and, and, uh,
And they're going to have to be brilliant at that.
I mean, any loose ball against this Bordeaux team, they're going to punish you badly.
But if they do it well, and Gibson Park has been kicking brilliantly.
I know Byrne had a rough semi-final, but I expect him, the Byrnes are mentally strong guys, I think.
And I expect him to turn it around and have a really good kicking display, which I hope will be the foundation for a very strong
a Leinster performance.
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.
