Something lends to reject and it definitely stings them.

But it just dredged up all of those memories.

The Northampton game is always going to loom large this week, but that's the perception outside Leinster of what Leinster are like, that they're not a together unit, that they're Ireland light.

They're kind of not bought into it because they've got two causes.

They're distracted away from one or the other.

I mean, even the players this week were talking about the defensive issues, saying, look, it's hard to move from Ireland to Leinster.

It's a different system.

And you're like... So not this week?

Yeah, yeah.

That's one of the reasons they've had the issues.

Well, they think they've got there now, just in time.

But it is difficult.

And they'll have time to run amazingly if they have.

And look, they don't need to be perfect this week.

They just need to be too long.

And then they've got another three weeks to get ready for a Bordeaux or a Bath in Bilbao.

But yeah, like all we can go off is the form.

It would be difficult to be confident about Leinster at the moment.

I'm going to go Toulon, yeah.

In a very tight game.
