They've actually hit form recently, but at the time they were struggling.

But that was a good La Rochelle performance and a good win and a Leicester game that you were at.

But again, Leicester wouldn't be in the same class as this Bordeaux team.

Indeed, Bordeaux blew away a kind of a shadow Leicester team in the last 16.

And I do think that the draw, while it got them here, because I think if they'd come across a team like Toulouse along the way, they probably wouldn't have got here this year, the way they've been playing.

It allowed them to build.

but it probably gave them a false sense of where they were because they haven't come across a team that level.

It relies on several things, that defensive system.

I think Caelan Dorris was quite good when he was asked about it afterwards.

If you lose the initial collision, well, it's very hard to get off the line.

And then, like, UBB were really good at being aggressive at the ruck and taking out.

Like, Leinster wanted to make it into a fight, but UBB just blitzed them out of the way.

And then they got quick ball from Maxime Lucu, who was so good today.

I didn't think Jalabier actually had a massive influence on the game.

I thought Lucu absolutely ran it.

He was so good.

And once you get that quick ball, that attack, like McNamara put in some amount of work into analysing Leinster.

I know he's working with some of the best attacking talent in the world, but he's given them a structure.

He's setting them up to succeed.

He knew that Leinster team really well.
