Danaher pleased with ‘buy-in’ from group, which will be boosted by return of offloading queen Sam Monaghan

Six Nations: Ireland coach praises defence’s ‘great work’ ahead of Italy testIreland to be boosted by return of Sam Monaghan for Italy clash

“I take as much joy in what we do in the attacking game. I would love for us to be all-round at the weekend,” he added in reference to Sunday’s second-round game against Italy. Ireland will be boosted by the return of the offloading queen, Sam Monaghan, but will be wary of an Italian side who beat them 24-7 in Parma last year.

Danaher also noted the problems Ireland had in containing France’s lineout maul, which yielded two of their three second-half tries. “But like I said, the better we get our attack, our set piece, and continue to grow those areas, takes a little bit of pressure off the ‘D’ and we’ve done great work this week. We’re just off the back of a training session now and the attack was pretty tasty.”
