So he had plenty in the tank still as the game ticked into the 88 minutes.
So I think it's a massive mistake to let him go.
And I'm shocked that Andy Farrell isn't able to actually make the IRFU make the offer almost with the standing and the clout he would have.
So look, it hasn't been officially confirmed.
So potentially this is just still a little bit of...
toing and froing agent wise but from all the reports it seems that he is going to be exiting at the end of the season it's running late now isn't it for a bit of business that you really should like to me it's obvious the question is do you pick him the question is do you pick him if you're Andy Farrell if you want him and the union are saying we're not paying him well you're saying well there's actually no rule I'm picking him like that's going to be the more interesting piece for me is whether Andy it would be a great deal for them
whether Andy Farrell is saying, you know what, I'm picking this guy anyway, which I could see happening because the circumstance, usually like when someone leaves, like, you know, it's kind of... They've made the choice.

This is opening two paragraphs of Rory O'Connor's piece about it after the game on Saturday.
Leo Cullen's press conference is winding down on Saturday night when a reporter wondered if he'd found the last week difficult given a fifth Champions Cup final defeat in a row had increased the pressure on his shoulders across the next 10 minutes.
During an at-times heated exchange, the Leinster coach pushed back on the premise of the question, hit out at what he sees as online trolls on social media, again lashed out at critics who believe his team could be achieving more, and at what he perceives as media negativity.
Luke, yeah, we were discussing this, you know, I think it had caught your eye.
Like, it was an interesting, kind of like rambling answer where he kind of touched on a lot of different things, as Rudd said there, and...
I don't have that much to say on it.
I don't have much to say.
