“Attack wins games, defence wins you titles” ~ Alex Ferguson.

I always thought this quote held up for rugby as well as soccer. Doing some analysis work on Leinster league 1B I wonder does it work in this highly competitive league? 1/8

Love some good numbers after a big match. Really good look into the attacking efficiency between Leinster and Toulouse by @joe_walsh99

[Joe Walsh @joe_walsh99]

🧵- Key stats for Toulouse around Metres made, gainline carries, defenders beaten, tackle success and ruck success - paint a very different picture to the result. Asks the question: Should we be focusing on 22 efficiency in ATT+DEF as a significant predictor of success? 1/?

[alexporter @alexporter_]

@joe_walsh99 Pretty phenomenal numbers put up by Leinster.

What does the Leinster attack have that Toulouse and other URC teams don’t? How can they put up such high point tallies and attack efficiency against good sides?

I will be 50 in a couple of years, & I note that some people may age and older are arguing against the point made by Holly Cairns that her generation are worse off than her parents generation. Some objective facts 1/ERSI

It's impossible to program for 600 athletes without a system

I have a three-step programming system that I use to churn out effective training programs every time

I want you to have it

@CiaronNoble98 Going to be an exiting finish to the season for both leagues!

[alexporter @alexporter_]

With four games left in Leinster league 1B it’s worth noting how tight a league finish it will be.
The current difference between first and last team is 17 points, which is the tightest of any Leinster league. 1/9

[alexporter @alexporter_]

Could be anyone’s game!

9/9

This is one to watch for each of the next four rounds. What each team needs to do to win/survive will change after every round.
This weekend:
Wicklow (1st) vs Cill Dara (6th)
Carlow (4th) vs Longford (8th)
Tullow (2nd) vs Athy (3rd)
Mullingar (5th) vs Dundalk (7th)
8/9

@rugbybroadcastr Must be something about division 1B. The Leinster League 1B is looking very competitive as well.

[alexporter @alexporter_]

@EJones80 Yes try bonus points for scoring four tries and losing bonus point for finishing within 7 points.
