Toulon had spotted that he was playing at fullback and he was one-on-one with Gael Drian.

And Albert Nas, after a brilliant Baptiste Saran pass off the deck, playing with a penalty advantage, if I remember correctly, puts up a contestable.

Pernagas got caught underneath it.

And when it comes down, it's a defensive horror show.

I think he basically has three goes at him and doesn't get any of those times.

And suddenly Leinster's game is in the balance.

And I think for his teammates, that just...

The Left Wing

is very difficult to to look him in the eye and say like we're all putting our bodies on the line here how are you not able to make that tackle and that's Sam Prendergast's big issue right now and I think Frawley would have made that tackle you know Prendergast might be better in phase play he might know to run the week better but ultimately Frawley nails that tackle and he's more comfortable in that role and sure you know if Osborne hadn't had to come on early Prendergast wouldn't have come on in in that position but that's part of the drill um

It was a really damaging moment for him, and I think that he'll get game time in the next two weeks, so maybe he'll have a chance to atone, but that's a hard moment to move past.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of Leinster fans, certainly judging by my timeline, would agree with you.

But I think that's...

You know, you're in the heat.

I think there was a couple of, you know, suspected headshots in the first half that were missed.

The Left Wing

I think that particularly... Timo was checking those as well.

And, you know, Intep is an interventionist, Timo.

The Left Wing

He likes to get involved in the game.

I didn't think he was a major factor in it personally, although Leo Cullen is bringing up incidents from 12 months ago.

Let's talk about Leo Cullen's press conference, because that is one of the more interesting press conferences he's given.
