La Rochelle by three. The Bulls by one. Munster by one. Habits define us and Leinster have developed a concerning knack of falling just short when it comes to these end-of-season knockout ties.

The last-gasp loss to Munster on Saturday means that they’ve now let slip their last two URC semi-finals and a Champions Cup decider in the space of 12 months and by the grand total of five points.
