How do you turn defence into sustained pressure?
In this conversation, Ofentse Moeng breaks down his approach to building a defensive system that puts the opposition under increasing pressure — from the kicking game and pressure zones, through to line speed, double tackles, tackle dominance and the breakdown.
We also explore how coaches can train players to see, communicate and adapt, rather than simply relying on fixed roles, and how to turn what you see in a game into specific coaching interventions on the training field.
