Ireland Rugby head coach Joe Schmidt has hit out at his critics after he was criticized after his side suffered a comprehensive Guinness Six Nations loss against England.
Many pundits feel that the Irish lacked mental strength after they were defeated 32-20 in a physical encounter against the English.
Schmidt has since defended his team’s tactics ahead of their game against Scotland on Saturday.
“I’d like to see how they’d describe our Plan A to be honest,”
“I do think I always get a lot of advice, there wouldn’t be too many weeks go by that I don’t get a letter, suggesting somebody play there, or suggesting a set play or suggesting something.
“And that’s when we’re winning. So when you lose you get at least three letters.
“And so you can expect people to be saying a lot about how we play, and what Plan A, B, C or D look like.
“So I’m not sure how they summarise Plan A, because I think we have a very varied game.
“We play strong off set-piece, we play a varied kicking game, we play with a varied attacking game. And we try to vary our defensive game.
“So I guess I’ll leave them to do their analysis, and we’ll keep analysing what we’re doing, and trying to improve.”
