BRIAN O'DRISCOLL: Chasing a Grand Slam against England | Ireland have the best defence in the world | Don't sanitise Mack Hansen
Ireland legend Brian O'Driscoll joined Joe Molloy to analyse Ireland's win over Scotland in the Six Nations and to look ahead to Saturday's tilt at a Grand Slam against England.
🏉 with Vodafone | #TeamOfUs
(0:00) - Mack Hansen’s comments about England, why he was top-class against Scotland.
(07:00) - Ireland dealing with injuries during the game at Murrayfield. Ireland have the best defence in the world right now.
(12:00) - Ireland team has different gears and are able to roll with the punches. Fast ruck ball is helping to wear the opposition down. The template has come from the Leinster model.
(22:00) - Duhan van der Merwe needed to make the offload to Finn Russell. I’d have wanted more from Hogg on the Hansen try.
(37:40) - Ireland staying calm despite the injuries, England’s soul searching after being hammered by France.
(44:44) - England have to stick with Marcus Smith.
