This is Jacques Nienaber’s 14th week working with Leinster. Not a landmark that would normally attract any interest. That it does now owes to the South African’s statement in the New Year that it would take 14 weeks to bed in his blitz defensive system.

That it takes 14 weeks regardless of the team involved.
