"The Irish guys have been away, but it's been at the back of their mind as well because our last game together was against Racing, here, and we talked about getting back here again. "Everyone's got a different challenge, but the tournament's never been harder to win in many ways," Cullen stressed. "The winners lift the trophy and control the story in many ways. "Jeepers, you think back to after 2012 - there was a six or seven year period where we wondered if we'd ever be competitive in the competition again. "It's still the big moments on the big days, that's the difference between the winners and losers," he stated. "Jeepers, if you think back to Marseilles, the game is there in our grasp and there are things in our control that we could've done better," reflected Cullen ahead of this sell-out last 16 tie. "There's always that sense particularly when you get to a final, that's what makes the beauty of the competition," he said. "You live with some of that afterwards and, for younger players, you try to get across to them how hard it is to win. "That's what drives us day in and day out - it is so bloody hard to win." Their loss to Leinster in the Twickenham decider three years later is part of a litany of what might have been for the province.
