Joe Schmidt and his POWER PLAYS

Subscribe here: / @pocketrugby
What is a power play? Usually occurring off set piece, it is a series of phases where an attacking team is trying to pull a defending team into defending a particular way, so it can be exploited.
Many moves shown in these clips are as a result of previous attacking phases, making the defence believe Ireland are going to attack a certain way, hence why they score off first phase.
Joe Schmidt brought these set piece, phased attacks to Leinster and then Ireland which took Irish rugby to another prvrl goobally. Players who knew exactly where they were supposed to be, at all times, manupulating opposition to think they were defending accurately to then be exploited.
Joe Schmidt brought Ireland to their highest ever ranking of World Number 1 however as a result Ireland became predictable and stale.
Despite this, Schmidt is widely respected across Ireland Rugby and is now a coach if the Nee Zealand All Blacks who narrowly missed a World Cup Final win vs South Africa in the Rugby World Cup 2023.
