I don't know, is it the singular focus on that fifth star?

The fact that Nina Arbour's been brought in with that singular goal in mind?

Look, we do have to... There are a number of caveats that everyone knows, but the Lions was massive disruption.

They didn't have a good pre-season.

They've had less, probably, access to their senior players than they've ever had before.

There was an extra November international.

And they did when they had it.

That doesn't really... Like, the Lions... No, but I think in this era where, like, Leinster need their internationals on deck and their internationals haven't been available.

And when they were available, they didn't play particularly good rugby, but they won games.

So they went on that run...

in December and January where they won nine or ten in a row.

They were never that impressive, but they were able to get over the line.

Their discipline's really poor no matter who they're putting on the pitch.

Look, my feelings on the Neenab are well known at this stage.

I don't think he is a good fit for Leinster.

I think he's an excellent coach with a revolutionary plan that I think works with a certain set of players.

I don't think it suits this group of players who I believe...

are more suited to playing the way Ireland play and that kind of more dynamic, attacking style of play.

The focus on line speed, I think, is fatiguing the players to some degree.

And to be honest, last weekend, they didn't even look like they had a lot of line speed.
