Ireland 13+2 Backfield Defence Structure - Rugby Analysis - Ireland v Wales Six Nations GDD Coaching

Rugby Analysis: Most top level teams use the 13 + 2 defensive system where they have 13 players up in the front line of defence and 2 in the backfield. This helps to maintain defensive width and force opponents to kick or lose possession through error or fatigue. This video looks at how players like Conor Murray and Jordan Larmour manage the backfield to cover threats, eventually leading to a turnover for Ireland against Wales in the Six Nations.
