Springbok Coach Jacques Nienaber Blamed For Ireland's Woes

Network error while loading playlist url
In an extraordinary rant, Irish rugby pundits have blamed Springbok Rugby World Cup-winning coach Jacques Nienaber for their national team's problems. Ireland finished a disappointing third in the recent Six Nations. Nienaber recently took up a job at Irish province Leinster and the pundits have accused Nienaber of confusing their players with his defensive system. Apparently, Ireland's world class players have difficulty adjusting between what they're being asked to do at club level and what is expected of them at international level. In this episode Peter calls out the Irish sports media hypocrisy and comes to defence of Jacques Nienaber.
