break apart the champions cup final obviously they they would have done their review as normal after the game but i'm sure you can give us an insight from a coach's point of view there's only so much you can so much insight you can do after a final when you get a quarter final seven days later or six days later um this they have actually had an opportunity over the last 10 days to really break it down and really talk things through
From the Bulls perspective, Jake, would you be putting a lot of stock into what Bordeaux did against Leinster?
Or if you were there at the moment, would you be confident enough that you already have the blueprint in place to beat Leinster?
Because obviously we've seen the Bulls do it before.
I probably won't get an award for insight for suggesting that the scrum is going to be very, very important this weekend, particularly with no Andrew Porter for Leinster calf injury ruling him out.
So we'll find out later today whether it's Alex Usanov, Ed Byrne or Gerry Kerr starting.
I'm going to read out a brilliant quote from Robin McBride here on Monday.
I asked him ultimately.
when you are down such an important player, how do you go about preparing to play against the best scrum in the league?
And he completely agreed the Bulls are the best scrum in the league.
But he said, I won't do the Welsh accent as well.
It sounded even better in the Welsh accent.
He said, I had a great conversation with Rafa Slimani last week.
He said, when you look at your opposite number, if he doesn't meet you eye to eye, if he goes early, if he doesn't respect the referee's commands, it just shows you he's scared.
So we can't be scared.
We've got to meet them head on and go for it.
And that's what we'll do.
It was a great quote, but it's easier said than done, I would say.
And, Birch, particularly when we're talking about starts, you just have to look back at the semifinals.
Leinster 13-0 up after 20-odd minutes against the Stormers.
