Why don’t Ireland tend to struggle against physical sides?

I know the scrum was an issue vs the boks but I mean why don’t Ireland struggle against the likes of Fiji, Tonga,Samoa , Ireland were the boks bogey team for a while.

Fiji is described as the “nation of perfect rugby athletes”
But yet we are the only team to never lose to them in the northern hemisphere and our last two games against them we have scored over 90 points.

Is it something Ireland do well with dealing with power teams?, I know Ireland are a physical team but other countries seem to struggle with them despite having more resources.

Just looking for anybodies thoughts

Advice for getting faster.

Hi, I’m a rugby winger looking to get faster.
I’ve programmed 60mx3 reps 3 min rest in between on a grass pitch once a week, I then do rugby training two days later.

I’m looking to really increase my speed this summer and I’m just wondering from sprinters perspectives would anybody have any advice on better programming.

When I’m sprinting I try to explode from the balls of my feet driving forward and maintain fast arm pump.

My Garmin watch has clocked me in at 33-35kph 20-21.5mph on over 15 different readings, so I believe that’s where im at.

Any programming tips greatly appreciated

I’m male, 6’1 ~89kg (197 pounds) morning weight ~16%bf

My main is goal is to be 88kg (196 pounds)at 12% bf.

I’m wondering do I lean bulk to 91kg (201 pounds) and then do a gradual cut.

Or

Do a body recomp at 89kg

Does anybody who has got more knowledge than me know what they would recommend?

I’m around 3.5 years of lifting

They were just a pure athlete, they didn’t need to be the best gaa player but When they were on the pitch they just had the natural qualities that other didn’t.

Who would you pick?
