And it goes, your back rowers should be better defenders than your second rowers who should be better defenders than your front rowers.

And in particular, you have to protect the less agile players within your team.

And that is typically your tight head and your loose head.

And in Tyke Furlong's defense, he is left defending inside Balakum.

And, you know, Caelan Dorris is there defending.

There's two phases before that where he can make that swap with him.

But Caelan's focus is on the breakdown and trying to get turnovers.

But you need to have a better awareness of the opposition and the threats that they're going to pose.

Scotland are certainly going to do that.

So you have to be nearly pre-empting where they're going to go.

Yeah.

And I'm sure that the second string team in the Irish camp are going to be trying to emulate the Scottish attack, which is very different to what Ireland have faced in the first four rounds of the competition.

Yeah, and that's when you see, you know, a big impact tackle or a double tackle on an attacker.

And you're looking at, you know, why did that happen?

And quite often it comes down to the lack of deception or the lack of timing or the lack of speed onto the ball.

Now, there certainly wasn't a lack of speed onto the ball when Tyburn ran it up.

It was like Rugby League and just, you know, body on body, he gets driven back.

But you look at that instance, you look at another one that he had, you look at a couple with Tyke Furlong, you look at Jack Conan off the back of the line out, and then you're looking at the players left and right of the ball carrier.

And I thought...

From the attack against England where it was really humming and there was subtlety with late passing right at the line, tips inside and outside, changes of direction from the player who was similar to what Jacob did for his try.
