If you even take the first three kick-offs of the game, the kick-offs, Keane drops the first one, James Ryan drops the second one after Leinster scored a try, and then Harry Byrne immediately puts it out in the full...
from the Bordeaux try.
That's just the first three kick-offs.
And the errors were just off the charts.
They contributed so much to their own downfall.
After that Ryan dropped kick-off, they lose the line-out.
They give away two penalties before the first try.
After Byrne kicks it out in the full, obviously Keenan's touch is very, very unlucky from that BLA kick.
That's a huge moment of the game.
And it's worth mentioning that that's a very fluky kind of freak play.
But then from there, they give away another scrum penalty.
Then after Van der Vlier gets that great steal before the third try, Harry Byrne knocks it on if the ball goes back to him.
They give away another penalty, ring rose at the ruck.
So in the first 25 minutes alone, Leinster's season at large in 20 minutes, they're giving away loads of penalties.
They're inaccurate.
They're making silly errors.
Luke said he didn't see this performance coming, but I always thought there was a potential when they went up a gear to the really top level of Europe, the way they've been playing this season, they might get badly exposed.
And I didn't think it would be as bad as that.
But God, the first 25, 30 minutes, or the first half in general, it was a car crash.
It was a complete car crash.
