Ireland can’t be blindsided again

Declan Kidney is undoubtedly Ireland’s most successful coach of the modern era.

He has led Munster to four European Cup finals, winning two of them, and Ireland ended their long wait for a second Grand Slam in history under his watch. And he has the most successful record in Irish World Cup history, winning four out of five games.

What has been the foundation of this success? A rock solid defence.
