Talking point: The Irish lineout was perfect against Scotland

After beating South Africa there were doubts about the Irish lineout but not anymore

From the ashes of the Irish lineout against South Africa, Ireland can go into their quarterfinal against New Zealand knowing that their set piece is, literally, in good hands whether it is Sheehan or Kelleher taking the throws.

What that gives Ireland is an attacking platform they can count on and with O’Mahony in such fine form on the defensive as well as offensive side, it is a piece of the All Black play book they know Ireland will target and contest. The confidence, accuracy and poise has returned to an important part of Ireland’s game with 10 lineouts and 10 won and two nicked from Scotland by the Munster backrow, O’Mahony.
