Developing rugby is about developing the ability to defend consistently, this ability to defend which is athlete on athlete tackling is aided by nutrition such as a diet based on fruit, fibre, and getting that protein / carb balance right pre and post game.Whatever it is that youth players are doing in Irish rugby it has got to be based on calmnes, focusing, defending and constructive use of the the ball with carries, linebreaks and all the passing of both hands, steps, acceleration, mauls, lineouts, scrums etc that these guys are doing well through practice, so coach Kevin Carrihill is undoubtedly pointing to the truth in his comments because there was nothing really in this scoreline., City of Derry won the game in the end but Cavan played very smart simple rugby, and played it well!
