Once you get that Ireland are backpedalling again, then the Australians could play on top where you've got forwards flooding onto the ball and then you're running against a retreating defence.
Again, you're going to win those contacts and...
for large parts, the Irish defence was chasing its tail.
And it does come back to, Joe, like we've spoken about this on multiple occasions, being caught between different systems.
The Irish defensive system doesn't get off the line as aggressively as Ireland's does.
As Leinster's does, sorry.
And then you get certain players getting caught.
Are we going hard here or are we staying passive and staying connected?
And there was one with Gary Ringrose where he bites in and the players either side of him just aren't tuned in.
I thought it was a poor defensive read from Gary.
Yeah.
They tip it out to Suey Leahy, another offload to Peach.
They're right in behind us.
We scramble, but you're getting exposed.
And then there was another one that the guys on Punditry at the weekend picked up with Prendergast, with Kian.
And he's caught between going hard
or going soft and staying connected.
And he ends up just kind of being run around.
And we don't have the physical capabilities of the South Africans.
So when they get caught out, their ability to turn and burn and salvage a situation is there.
