I think there's a vibrancy about Bordeaux that Leinster are missing right now.

The crowds are down.

There's an energy around them.

The players seem to be still bought into it.

They're trying their best for the fans.

It was a good crowd over here from Ireland, given how much it cost to get here.

I know it probably didn't come across maybe on the TV, but there was good pocket.

it's a blue and loads around town but I would be interested to see how many people turn out to see them next week against the Lions I think there's something that needs to be addressed there in terms of the energy around Leinster to try and build a bit of momentum like Bordeaux have because that feels like a club that's completely unified and pulling in the right direction

Yeah, well, Leo Cullen said it, like, you know, if we had this game again tomorrow, we think we'd do a much better job at it.

The problem is that finals, there's no tomorrow.

I think if that Leinster team turn up and play well, I think, you know, if you put those guys in green jerseys and sent them out, it gave them a couple of weeks with Andy Farrell, they'd close that gap.

Yeah.

I don't know if it's an elephant in the room.

We've talked about it today.

But I don't think those players are as far off those Bordeaux players as they were in that first half.

They underperformed.

They might not have won it, but that underperformance needs to be addressed.

And I think there's a massive amount of soul-searching to go on in Leinster in the next few weeks.

I hope the players are involved by the club to see what they think is going wrong, that it's not just coming from a couple of voices.

Because I think...
