Okay.

Well, we're going to dig into match preview in just a second, really, properly, but...

Just on the fan base, because they are rabid here, you know, like I said, the semifinals sold out in two hours.

What were they like in 16, 17?

Or like, is there is there a discernible characteristic to the fan base?

Obviously, in Leinster, there'd be a tradition, rightly or wrongly, of the well-heeled Dublin set being the kind of core fan base.

How does it compare in Bordeaux?

Okay.

Well, let's get into the game then.

So Ian sort of laid out the simple version, Rudd.

Bordeaux want chaos.

Leinster don't.

Yeah.

And who do you think is going to come out on top ultimately in that fight between Leinster defence and this brilliant Bordeaux attack?

Yeah, can I come in there?

So...

Against Toulon, I mean, it worked a treat for quite a long time, you know, and we spoke with Eddie after the game and Toulon didn't set up very well for it.

It seemed they were very deep off rucks.

The players were spaced with a lot of width between them.

So the ball was in the air quite a lot.
