Arne Slot wasn't as disappointed with Darwin Nunez missing a sitter for Liverpool against Aston Villa last month, as much as he was angry with his striker’s reaction.
The head went down and there was a noticeable lack of effort; the chance was gone, but the manager needed his Uruguayan forward to put it behind him quickly.
"[The miss] I can accept but what was a bit harder for me to accept was his behaviour after that chance, I think it got too much in his head," said Slot.
Getting back on the bike quickly has been a key factor in Ireland’s success over the last number of years and the example of Jamie Osborne recovering from a shaky start against Wales the latest example.
Making his Guinness Six Nations debut on his sixth cap, the Leinster back, with Ireland 10-3 up and looking to halt growing Welsh momentum, threw a poor final pass to Garry Ringrose, which would have likely ended in a try.
There was a knock-on and poor tackle-read as well, and it would have been easy for the Naas man’s head to drop, especially as the noise inside the Principality Stadium rose to a deafening level.
But the 23-year-old turned the page and grabbed a crucial second try to level up the game, which Ireland went on to win 27-18.
"I knew it should have been a try so I was definitely frustrated at the time," he said.
"I definitely didn’t want to let that cloud my judgement or anything for the rest of the game.
"There was a lot of rugby to be played after that and I wanted to come off the pitch being relatively happy with the performance so I think it's best to drop the mistakes as soon as they happen."
Osborne played the full 80 minutes and switched to the wing for the latter stages.
In addition to his try, he had 13 carries, beat two defenders and kicked three times for almost 100 metres.
"Yeah, I suppose I was pleased with some of the stuff in the second half," he said.
"But when you reflect on it, it could have been better. But I was relatively pleased, happy to get the win most importantly.
"The first half was not how we wanted it to go. A lot of errors including myself.
"But I thought the way we bounced back in the second half – we were five points down with a man in the bin and we managed to find a way to get back into the game, probably not in the way that we were expecting to go out to play before the game.
"We went more to a bit more of a kicking game and put pressure back on them and I think we learned a lot about ourselves in that second half."
France are next up in Ireland’s quest for a third title in a row and Les Bleus will be gunning for revenge having lost the last two meetings.
Defeat for the visitors on Saturday would all but end their title hopes.
"We know how strong they are," said Osborne, whose side top the standing on 14 points, three ahead of France.
"We know we have to be at our best to beat them. It’s a huge challenge but everyone’s really looking forward to it.
"I think they’re all brilliant players.
"[Thomas] Ramos, he’s a brilliant footballer. He plays a lot at 10 as well as 15, has a big boot and he’s not afraid to try stuff and a lot of the time it comes off.
"[Louis] Bielle-Biarrey, he’s lighting quick. And [Damian] Penaud, he just has a knack for beating defenders. He scores a lot of tries."
Osborne was a direct replacement for regular full-back Hugo Keenan against Wales and may have to do with a bench spot when Simon Easterby names his 23 for the game at midday.
Despite the quality on show across the two teams, there’s plenty of kicking expected in Dublin on Saturday.
Osborne added: "They can kick the ball long but they also come with a lot of little attacking kicks, little grubbers, chips, so I think the responsibility is on the whole team really to be able to see that," he said of the French threat.
"The backfield will play a big part, obviously, but everyone needs to be switched on.
"From a back-three perspective you are talking about scanning the back field space, seeing it better to kick long is it better to kick contestable, those sorts of decisions because obviously Lowey [James Lowe] as well.
"He’s a great long kicker and Sam [Prendergast] of course.
"Then we have lads like Hugo who is so good and Mack [Hansen] who is so good at chasing and getting in the air so it’s about working together and deciding what’s the best kick option at the time."
