As opposed to him seeing an opportunity, going for it, getting tackled and getting turned over and being heavily criticised for that.
What I'm trying to explain here is the Irish system is about the system and breaking down the opposition.
So not going off script and doing things solo and potentially getting turned over on the ground.
They don't want that.
The belief is that if we stick together as a team, the system will break down the opposition.
So the individuals, barring maybe Stu McCluskey, they don't have the freedom to be able to
take the opposition on, throw offloads, run lines solo.
That's not how we want to play.
And the belief is that we will beat more teams by playing as a team as opposed to trying to create this kind of French or Fijian model of way more offloading, way more individualistic players.
No, it's not.
And having watched the games over the weekend, the players that are producing that are athletically really gifted.
Like two, for example, in the Scottish game, there was numerous guys on both New Zealand and the French teams.
Obviously, there's probably seven or eights at Africans.
Part of that is down to genetics, raw power.
No, it's true.
Yeah.
And that's why we have to be more reliant on the system.
That is where we believe our point of difference is.
And as coaching teams, they need to get every ounce out of the teams that's provincial and national versus...
They will.
