No, yeah, that makes sense.
But their selections over the years don't always go with what the consensus might be.
And that kind of brings us on, Cian, I suppose, to Leinster's future or where they go from here.
Like Leo Cullen...
His post-match interview on Premier I thought was quite bizarre.
He was kind of like pretty chirpy and kind of laughing and kind of like, oh, what a great occasion.
Almost like we're happy to be here.
I know he's been dropping those little breadcrumbs in the build-up about what an achievement it is to get to the final.
And he was kind of really relying on that.
And Rudd showed me the transcript of the press conference where the first question he was asked about his thoughts was, oh, what an occasion it is.
It's great to be in such a great occasion like this.
I thought it was a really strange reaction to a humiliating defeat, possibly one of Leinster's worst ever defeats.
If you're a Leicester supporter listening to that, your coach comes in.
Andy Farrell, after the game in Paris where Ireland got a hiding, came in and was like, that was unacceptable.
There was no fight.
I never thought I'd question that.
Whereas Leo Cullen's laughing about, oh, we have to play a quarterfinal next week.
I don't see how he can stay on after another defeat like this.
He's been there for 11 seasons.
I think since 2023 in the La Rochelle game and how he managed that Munster semi-final the week before, he's kind of been on thin ice with supporters and just that performance, that defeat and his reaction to it.
