when they play against teams where they are dominant in defence, their fold is actually pretty easy.
Like they don't have that far to go.
It's not going backwards to come forwards.
It's just like, it's more or less a straight line or they're on the front foot.
But the amount of times you saw Joe McCarthy just going backwards to try and get into that position.
And I'm not too sure any defence coach can deal with that.
And it's a tough one to take.
We've hired one of the top defence coaches in the world to fix all these problems.
But when you're on the back foot all the time, it becomes pretty difficult.
No, you can't.
And it's really tough to watch it three, four times.
And even Leinster have developed this ability to deal with the escort lines and their backfield coverage.
So what they do is the defender on the edge, who's Tommy O'Brien, say, or one of the wingers, when the box kick comes in, they will run back and they'll have the back to play.
What Bordeaux have done is they have spotted this and they've let Tommy win the ball and they've just gone, you know what we could do now?
We could counter-ruck straight away on this, which is now another collision they're going to win because the Leinster player now has their back to the field of play or their back to the defence.
And it becomes a really easy counter-ruck to have.
And...
You know, I've been kind of waiting for a team to do it.
I didn't think it was going to be Bordeaux, but they picked it out.
They've spotted it and they went after it three times, you know, and it's kind of hard to take that innovation that goes into the game that you've worked hard on and you think you've solved the problem.
