LEINSTER are not as invincible as everyone (in Ireland) makes them out to be.

- LEIGHTON KΟΟΡΜΑΝ

Back-to-back losses over the last two weekends have shown that. And maybe, this could be the start of their season spiralling and another year where they end up with no trophies after being tipped to go deep into the United Rugby Championship (URC) and Champions Cup.

They were clear favourites to claim a fourth consecutive finals berth in the Champions Cup ahead of this past weekend. Yet, they did not make it past the semi-finals.

Yes, they will be in the quarter-finals of the URC as they still top the log but the last two losses in both competitions have shown that there is a vulnerability within the team sides can exploit when facing them in make-or-break matches.

They are not bulletproof, no matter how much they are hyped up or the depth of their player pool.
