Leinster's Joe McCarthy still sees plenty of room for improvement, despite his side's 45-28 Champions Cup victory over Harlequins at Aviva Stadium.
With so many returning internationals and fresh partnerships coming back into the Leinster squad, they made a sluggish start against the Quins and with an hour gone, the game was in the mix at 24-21.
However Leinster dominated the final quarter to break clear and late tries from Tommy O'Brien, Jack Conan and Jimmy O'Brien helped them to put a gloss on the scoreline.
Speaking to RTÉ Sport, McCarthy was pleased with the result but admitted his side will have to get up to speed soon.
"You get five points out of it and you're pretty happy, but there's definitely a bit of a sense of frustration" he said. "I think that's kind of normal.
"There’s a lot of new combinations, it’s my first game of the season and a few guys like Caelan haven't played for Leinster yet this season. We've not been together that much, so I think we're excited where we can take it.
"We just need to properly review that and then have a good rest as well."
The game turned on the last 20 minutes when Leinster put together those three tries in quick succession and McCarthy felt that spell was exactly where Leinster want to be over the full 80 minutes.
"It felt like when we kind of tuned in, switched on and got on the same page, we felt like we were really breaking them," he said.
"It was probably just a few small mental lapses and just holding on to the ball a little bit more would have really killed them off.
"We probably let them back in a few times, but I think we should go to a few positives - the scrum set pieces felt very dominant. There’s a good platform to work off there.
"There's been a lot of disruption, we haven't had a long periods together. We're not making excuses, but I think you'll see after this block of games that we'll improve each week."
