Id say that must be what he is trading on, interesting see how long he lasts.
Donāt think it was sexton
The level of participation in finals in both comps tells a different story. Some of them donāt bother but itās a tired stereotype that they donāt chase European glory when they can

Theyāre like man city, they hibernate, only rousing themselves from their torpor after the paris-nice
Iv never seen anything like these stats beforeā¦talk about starving a team of possessionā¦Byrne had only one pass in the first half (an assist for a try)

This is well worth a watch. In particular the last 5 minutes going through the final Leinster effort. Heās shown something that no other analyst/journalist/podcaster Iāve heard to date has noticed and to my mind goes a long way to explaining the lack of a drop goal attempt.

Matt Williams gave a stat on OTB that up until La rochelleās last try Leinster spent a total of 16 seconds in possession in La rochelleās half in the 2nd half. Donāt know if thatās true but it felt like it on Saturday.

I believe it was Joe Molloy who said that LR mauled a distance of 56 metres throughout the game, as Leinster mauled 0 metres.

Great review. I mentioned it last nt the lack of help JGP gave byrne in last while with the DG but itās terrible viewing there for him. Byrne should still be in a lot more control of his 9 than that thoughā¦ la rochelle got the tactics absolutely spot on
That opening try was a thing of beauty by Leinster tbf.
