Gibbes says Leinster pack need ‘bloody focus’

“A bloody focus” is the phrase Leinster forwards coach Jono Gibbes uses to describe what his pack need to counter the threat that comes from the Ospreys scrum on Friday.

The Welsh region make a return to the RDS, the venue where they took the Magners League Grand Final last season, brimming with confidence and with little to fear as they continue their progress against Irish sides.

In particular, former All Black Gibbes has noted their revolution in the tight five, an area where they destroyed Munster in the Heineken Cup in another watershed for their continuing development from hyped underachievers to real players in Europe.
