Leinster boss Leo Cullen reacts to Saturday win over Connacht.
LEINSTER TOOK THE points last night but Connacht dominated the post-match discussion following Mack Hansen’s strong comments about officiating in the URC .
Speaking to the media after Hansen had made his comments, Leinster head coach Leo Cullen was asked about the Barrett/Aki incident but felt the right decision had been made at the time.“And that’s the game. There’s a cleanout and the windows where you can enter are so small. I saw the incident and I didn’t think there was that much in it.”
“They’re going flat out. Like, we want to try and play positive, and they made the breakdown quite messy, rewarded a couple of times in those first 15-20 minutes, but then held our composure pretty well I thought. “And listen, to be fair to the players, you have a number of academy players in the 23, even during the course of the week we had a bit of disruption with a couple of guys pulling out as late as yesterday. So we’re really pleased with how everyone adapted to the game.”
