Jacques Nienaber taking down the Ireland system from within

Where do we send him next to create havoc?

Erasmus might as well bring his defence guru back to the Boks….

Maybe the Irish should try to adapt to both Systems of defence….can’t hurt.

I hate Brian O Driscoll, such a whining annoying voice. Can't bare to listen to him. Him and Jonny Sexton is enough reason why I hate Irish rugby.

No, it is called professional rugby. Two, all of the French clubs beat Leinster well before Nienaber showed up. Leinster lost at home to La Rochelle and to champions. The French knows how to get around the Irish obstructive running and they know how to get around the Irish. The simply pulvarized you up front and then you use Barelle and his agility to get around you outwide. Not to mention their slick handling and great running lines

I am no expert - but I think defence strategy are influenced by the opposition teams play against, An example in the case of the 6 nations I would say France needs backline defense face to face wih little chance of getting backline players space t operate in - the French are very dangerous when in space and attacking at speed.

Ireland are just struggling full-stop.

They have been worked out and are on the way down.

Sucks to have had your best years and still never made it past the 1/4s of a WC...lol
