Munster defence coach Denis Leamy has praised Leinster's tactical approach, describing them as 'brilliantly boring' ahead of their upcoming clash.
Denis Leamy has labelled Leinster as 'brilliantly boring' as his Munster outfit are rocked by yet another high-profile injury. The Reds' defence coach cut his teeth in Leinster 's backroom before joining the Reds under then new boss Graham Rowntree. And, with Leinster visiting Munster on Friday night, Leamy believes that the URC table toppers have changed utterly since he was there, due to the influence of Jaques Nienaber.
'Well, look, I'm not going to sit here and say I didn't learn an awful lot in Leinster,' he said. 'It was a brilliant environment, and I worked very closely with brilliant coaches and brilliant managers. And I was very lucky to do so, but I think it's very different from what I can see over the last 12 months. There's definitely a big change in mindset from what I can see. They are, how would I say, brilliantly boring - and I say that giving them a lot of credit and admiration. 'But they kick the ball almost more than any other team in the league. They play territory more than any other team in the league. They're just brutal then when they get into your score zone. 'They got this power-based game now that is really, really strong, and how you deny them access to that is the key thing. They back their defence, they back their kicking game. 'They don't try to do too much in terms of overplaying, and they just strangle it, put you down into the 22, and then there's big powerful men running down on top of you. And they're a handful. 'Anytime Munster plays Leinster, whatever side you're on, it's a great derby. It's a great tradition. The winners certainly get the bragging rights. 'And, look, we have an awful tough game to get through and an awful lot to do before we get to that stage. But, look, beating Leinster will be a great achievemen
