Ireland has become known for their innovative approach when it comes to the goal-line drop-out, turning it into a strategic set-piece rather than just a way to restart the game. In their World Cup victories, they have managed to score tries from goal-line drop-outs, thanks in large part to Caelan Doris. As Ireland’s most effective ball-carrier, Doris is strategically positioned in the backfield to receive the drop-out and initiate the play. Even when teams try to avoid kicking it to him, Ireland finds a way to involve Doris in their attacking moves.
Against South Africa, Ireland will need to rely on their ingenuity to break through one of the toughest defenses in the world. Although they have revealed some of their tactics, they have added so many variations to their moves that it’s difficult to predict where the attack will come from. Doris describes the goal-line drop-out as a “third set-piece,” something they have drilled for a while. It adds a new dimension to their game, along with improving their basic skills and consistency.
Doris acknowledges the challenge ahead and aims to deliver another top-class performance. He is confident in the work they have put in over the years and emphasizes the importance of trusting their training and habits. While there may be some extra preparations for this crucial game, Doris believes that they have already laid the foundation for success. He mentions the guidance of Paul O’Connell, who encourages the players to enjoy the week and not get overly stressed about doing too much. They have already done the work, and now it’s about delivering their best on the field.
The upcoming game against South Africa will likely feature some set-piece specials, with Doris playing a central role once again.
