It was give it to Mo Afana or give it to Gazzotti, the number eight, up the middle first, smash that breakdown, get them going backwards.

And then you're basically you're ridden because you've broken the gain line.

You haven't given them time to disrupt the ball.

And therefore you haven't given the line time to set and come flying off the line.

Pretty simple, but it worked.

What did you make of Leinzer attacking-wise?

Obviously that first half, you know, the first 10 minutes, they had to work really hard for that try, but they did maintain just enough accuracy to get O'Brien over from the corner.

Accuracy kind of deserted them thereafter.

And then the second half, the game was, the attack looked better, but I thought the game was done and equally.

Yeah, I think that's the key point, isn't it?

And every time they got into the 22, apart from the McCarthy try, I think there was a, you know, there was a breakdown turnover or a spill at the back of a ruck or something.

It's just, where are you on that?

And equally, the 10 picture comes into that as well, doesn't it?

Because poor old Burns struggled, got taken off just after halftime.

Frawley came in and things looked a little bit better, but obviously he's off to Connacht.

When you were there and you looked at what the two teams did, I mean, Leinster almost start every session with like skills.

It's right, we're going to do a hands drill.

You know, everybody has done that in some degree when they played rugby in school or club.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm not saying, but you know, basic skills, that's kind of how they get going.
