IT IS AN area of their game that has come under scrutiny in recent weeks and assistant coach Robin McBryde is looking for consistency from the Leinster lineout moving into the second half of the season.
The province’s senior coach Jacques Nienaber suggested last week that an attempt to prepare themselves for this law change may have contributed to the issues they experienced in the Clermont game and McBryde – who oversees the Leinster lineout – acknowledged he has possibly been trying to force things during recent games.
“I thought Clermont arrived with a good plan. The important thing is when you make a mistake or lose a lineout, you learn from it quickly and we didn’t do that against Clermont. We kept going to the same area. It was a positive against Connacht because we didn’t lose a lineout in the second half. Are we trying to force it a little bit? There are a lot of things in there.”
“You look at the bump in the road we had against Connacht. We lost Jack Conan pretty early, Max Deegan went off early. All of a sudden you have Alex Soroka playing his first game since I don’t know when and he’s got to scrummage at 8. Then we’ve got somebody in the bin and you’ve got Scott Penny throwing in the lineout.
