And that's where I would be critical of the coaches in that I just don't think Leinster have been at the level that they traditionally would have been.

Leo Cullen was lamenting their lack of execution, their lack of being clinical.

They were talking about Bordeaux, you know, being much more clinical.

But that was Leinster's calling card for so long that they would be the most clinical team.

They were the most accurate team.

Joe Schmidt made them the best passing team in the world.

And that's, I think, where they'll have like huge frustrations tonight because they had 11 visits to the UBB 22 today and only came away with three tries across the 80 minutes.

But like two of them were scored, you know, UBB were at that stage were kind of playing with their food.

So they've got...

A lot of interrogating, I think, about their preparation, about their season, to understand why they turned up at a final in an amazing stadium with a big bunch of fans.

They talked about embracing the occasion.

Cullen talked about how amazing the occasion was, but they didn't live up to that occasion.

I don't think they did it themselves, just to say.

There's no shame in losing to this Bordeaux team, but I think he got his play.

And Leinster, after they scored that opening try, they just didn't play enough.

Look, absolutely.

I think the step up in class from what Leicester have been playing against, like their toughest game I think of the year, their toughest two games of the year really were La Rochelle at home, which they did that Harry Byrne penalty.

And in fairness, La Rochelle showed up that night.

It was, you know, Bottia was, you know, reeling in the years.

But they're not the force that they were.
