Perhaps.

Anyway, regardless, the scoreline wouldn't have told you that that had an impact on the game.

What I felt like towards the latter part of the second half, particularly when the pace of the game kind of stayed so high from, you know,

probably from 30 minutes, 25 minutes in the game to about, you know, 60, 65 minutes, 70 minutes.

It was rapid.

Like they were, the amount of guys that were kind of one man rooks, guys picking and going, all flow.

Like there was so much skills on show.

That kind of stuff really takes it out of you when you're a body down.

And obviously as well for, you know, they had 10 minutes without, you know, best player in the world, DuPont.

So I thought that did impact them.

You know, obviously,

Ramos had to go in there and like what a player that guy is I mean he just like he looked at home at nine but yeah I did kind of a brilliant performance but also a kind of sloppy performance by Toulouse like even the kick for Ramos but just you know when they get that try you're just going to go it's so unlike him to miss anything let alone that with just a lapse of concentration so

Yeah, kind of a few big moments kind of cost them.

I thought that what it did was all the pressure and the territory that they had for good portions of the game, they weren't really able to break down Bordeaux at the end because they had nothing left themselves.

So that's the Toulouse part.

Bordeaux, on the other hand, I agree.

Look, it took two to tango there.

Honestly, I thought Toulouse had the edge, but with those things, with those kind of moments, really, really impacted the game for Toulouse.

But Bordeaux was still unbelievable.

I love what you said, Will, about the kind of gritty edge to the performance from the pack and hanging tough against what is a really meaty Toulouse pack.
