I think itβs better defined as βItβs very difficult to get selected when youβre playing grand/OK-ish in a middling/poor teamβ.

Leinster need to get their head out their collective ass and stop thinking about Northampton and Lions. Will be another semi-final defeat if they play like that next week.

Took me a while but I finally summed up the courage to listen to this and it's very good, as usual. Lord knows doing even a high level rewatch nearly killed me, so god bless these gluttons for punishment for going so forensically into what went wrong - and what Saints did right. .
