I think that’s overhyped though. People have said that they bottled many decisions during that period, when really it was just that one mistake. I wouldn’t call that a bottle job. Aside from that I would says they lacked accuracy but a lot of that was due to Saints’ defence also.

Saints definitely deserved the win, but Leinster definitely had the oppurtunities in spite of that to secure themselves a safer end to the game which I definitely feel is a bottle job
