[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 887374, member: 56767"] Indeed. It has been a concern of mine for some time. I don't mind keeping it tight, that's fine - but we are so blunt. France rushed with bias out-to-in and we simply didn't know what to do about it. Not the first time either. Even going back to before Schmidt's time its been a problem. The last time an Irish team could probably work around a well organised rush defence might have been with the Dagger in charge. Once we got into the 22 the plan seemed to quickly devolve into one man out. Which can be OK - if the run angle is varied and the man is hitting the ball flat out. 3/4 pace doesn't cut it. [/QUOTE]
