Rory O'Connor

there was a real chance there to just do a BLB and just kick into space and see what happens.

Instead, they tried to play.

I thought their phase attack or their kind of strike attack was very poor today too long.

I thought they were disappointing overall.

They got caught playing in their own 22.

They kind of panicked, put up a box kick,

you know a contestable which they almost came off for them but didn't i think tommy o'brien went up and won it he was very good today and then let's just settled into this patient phase attack forced penalties with 13 men took time off the clock they didn't you know even if they hadn't scored they really um were able to kind of manage that period so so well i think that's what was the most impressive period of the whole game and will you know i think when they focus on the internet um on monday morning that's probably what they'll put up there as the kind of the real um

This is what this is our identity.

This is what we stand for now is that we were able to go down to like the first yellow card in Porter was definitely a yellow card.

Burn was a kind of team offense.

There's very clear evidence in the build up to it that, you know, Josh van der Veer should have got a poach but didn't get it.

And that's what happens.

But they didn't get annoyed with what was happening with the referee.

They stuck together and that was very, very impressive.

And it was the foundation for them.

You know, Ringrose scores his try and then they kind of take control of the game.

Harry Byrne kicks another penalty.

They build a 29-11 lead through Caelan Dorris' try.

And they should be home and hose.

And there's so much good in that period.
