And this is true of all sports because Leinster, as you say, they're one of the richest teams in the URC.
They would be up there in Europe, but I mean, they wouldn't be
tackling the likes of the big French sides, they had one of the best playing squads.
So are the coaches good or are they fortunate to have a team like that?
What would happen if you dropped them into the Scarlets, for example?
I mean, we'd love being a part of the Scarlets, but would they be as effective?
They'd have to adjust what they're doing.
And you see it with Sean Edwards as well.
I think we would all...
you know, grasp at Sean Edwards as one of the best defense coaches ever.
But, you know, this last six nations, did France win in spite of the defense or because of the defense?
So I think that is a fundamental issue there that with coaches, you can build your narrative.
You can kind of say,
This is who I am.
I blitz teams.
I put them under massive pressure.
You very rarely hear defense coaches come out and say, yeah, we're fairly passive and we just want to kind of keep an affinity for the attack.
And so you build that narrative.
Saracens did it with the Wolfpack.
And you build that idea and then everything that happens kind of backs up that idea.
