It’s bread and butter to us. Munster love that tactic and we’ve always had to be prepared for it to win.

We’re good at fanning when the steal isn’t on but sometimes vulnerable to pick and drives.

The teams that we struggle with are ones that can execute at full pace. Our rush defense forces attacks to operate under pressure. If they can live with the pressure without breaking down there’s space to be had.

Retain-the-ball teams are effective against mobile underpowered packs and solid packs that are too reliant on kicking for position.
