How the Irish national Rugby union team should play against teams from Southern Hemisphere

#2 Fast approach near the opposition 22:

When in possession near the opposition 22, they should try to be fast. NZ defense does not enjoy facing strong ball carriers. Therefore, the likes of Stander, their No. 8, should try to gain yards by making forceful carries. The attack near the opposition 22 should be fast and they can not afford to spend too much time by playing unnecessary passes and thereby giving the opposition defenders enough time to reposition themselves.

This could be a very good tactic against a team like South Africa, who have a sluggish defense. Also, attacking through the blindside would be a good idea as it would nullify the speed and agility of the Kiwi defenders and instead, the outcome would be decided on the basis of strength. Ireland maintained an average of 4 tries per match in the Six Nations 2018 and there is no reason why they can not keep up the good work against the Southern teams.
