Not particularly effective other than making the tackle, which results in quick ruck ball for the opposition.
Ireland only fold two players around the corner, Jack Conan and Josh van der Vleer.
sheen is in behind the breakdown new zealand including their number nine have nine attackers on the open side so it's effectively a nine on four and a half five and ireland have um six defenders on the blind side new zealand have two attackers so we've got our fold and hold wrong there more players should be folding around the corner because you've got to get your eyes up see where the threats are coming from
What makes matters worse is Josh, who is that second defender, he shoots forward.
So you're under significant pressure.
That's when, as Eddie said, the likes of Australia will just be passive and try and bring the best defender in, which is the touchline.

right, with Ringrose and Ballacoon being R2 defenders.
We scramble, but now it's been two phases.
They're inside R40.
So they've made, you know, 15, 20 yards in two phases.

Quick rook ball.
Ireland have six defenders out now defending the open side and one in behind the rook.
New Zealand have nine attackers.

You've got Prendergast on the short side.
