And obviously Leinster licked their lips and they got up in Toulon faces and really caused Toulon a lot of problems.

Until suddenly they didn't.

And when they did, I mean, so that that all or nothing quality.

And of course, you're relying on brilliant scramble and you're relying on Joe McCarthy making great decisions.

But obviously, Bordeaux are superior to Toulon.

So that's that's the only thing like a bit of fatigue came in, a bit of tightness came in.

They certainly stopped rushing.

It's almost harder to implement than more of a drift defense.

And then it was badly exposed.

It's so funny because all year I've been listening to Ian Madigan tell me that this defence, this is it, you know, Ireland should go with this defence.

And then on my other shoulder, I've had Luke Fitzgerald saying, this defence, it's going to cost them.

So I'm about to find out.

Yeah.

So let's flip it for a second.

I asked you about Leinster defence against Bordeaux attack.

When Leinster have the ball, will they kick early?

Will they try and go through the phases all day long, starve Bordeaux of possession, build and build and build?

Will it be a mixture of the two?

Do you anticipate Leinster?

Let's assume for a second Bordeaux are going to crack Leinster a few times and score some tries.
