STRENGTH IN COACHING

Jacques Nienaber is getting to grips with life in Dublin but reckons it will take longer for Leinster players to get used to him.

The South African has come to appreciate how ‘f*** off’ can be used as an expression of amazement.

He can drive to Dun Laoghaire, Blackrock and Dundrum without GPS and knows to get the No  11 bus into the city centre.

And, six weeks after starting work, he is already familiar with his locals.

Nienaber said: “The Dropping Well, Ashton’s and Farmer Brown’s. I’m not picky, they’ve all got good pints. Not that I’m a big drinker but I like to have a pint every now and then.”

And if his pint consumption is low, there is a similar approach when it comes to assessing whether his defence is functioning as it should.

Nienaber said: “Points and tries conceded, it’s all that counts. You can have 100 per cent tackle completion and be 28-0 down with four maul tries.

“If you go, ‘Yes, our defence was good, guys, we didn’t miss one tackle’.

“But we were so narrow that it was literally a 7-on-2 overlap and they just pass, pass, pass, you don’t miss a tackle but they score four tries like that.

“In the three tries we conceded against Ulster, the second one there was no missed tackle, they just ran in. Is that good or bad? They scored, that’s bad.”
