I don't know why the decision-making will be better this weekend, but I just take it as a...
matter of fact that it will be that like they won't try the thing that isn't on that somebody will make the run a little faster a little sharper because it's a bigger game it doesn't make sense you're supposed to fall back to the level of your practice as opposed to rise to the occasion but there's just so many times that these guys play big games that they do actually rise to the occasion right yeah i think there's a
One thing that really stuck out for me in the first try for Teresa in the first half and the first try in the second half for them was they're going hard off a midfield rook so...
With the Blitz defense, and again, this is my understanding of the ideal time to Blitz and how I thought it was off an edge.
So anywhere from the touchline to the 15 is kind of like green.
You can go full blast because you have a very big line.
It's hard to get around.
But if you're in between the 15s and whichever way they go and you go hard, all it takes is one really good cut-out pass and one just slight miss of what man you're going for and they get around you.
And Teresa did that twice in the game, both off midfield rucks.
We saw Ireland do it in the first...
definitely against France and they got better as the campaign progressed but it's a different system but definitely players where their decision making around when to go and when to stay connected got better and I feel like when they're back in Leinster again I'm just seeing little chinks there of
If I was playing against them, I'd get it to the middle of the field and try those cut-out passes or get them on the edge that way because attacking off the edge, you're just running into a really, really fast line and it is hard to get around.
But yeah, that would be one thing.
If I was Toulon, I'd be scouting is getting after them on those midfield rocks.
