Factor in location of game too. Leinster win vs Toulouse in Aviva. Different story playing in South Of France.From a position of complete ignorance I think there have been a bunch of plonkers like myself that felt if Leinster can boss Toulouse they can boss La Rochelle. Just because they play in the same league doesn't mean they have the same personnel and tactics.
La Rochelle focussed on forward muscle rather than Toulouse's finesse and had the pack to execute that. Perhaps just a tougher matchup for Leinster, played in France.
To be young, free and fluent in French on a summer's day and miserable. Gotta love sports.
Leinster had no game either in France this year except when they got whipped 28-0.
But Leinster got caught to for reason they bring in Jenkins next year. They missed that physical presence in the forwards front 5
