When I was at Harlequins we had a psychologist, Pieter Kruger, who now works at Munster. I always remember how he would tell us the times you’re most likely to concede points is the 10 minutes before half-time and the 10 minutes after. If anything defines this Ireland team, it is their ability to strike during those moments, in those championship minutes.
