WATCH: JP Ferreira on Munster's defensive work and Academy impact

Munster defence coach JP Ferreira says that he has no specific plan when high flying Leinster come to Thomond Park on Saturday.

Ferreira is the mastermind behind another impressive defensive effort by Munster this season and hoping to see more of the same against their big rivals.

“We have always had a focus for our defence. It gives us energy. It will come in good stead this weekend against a team that has got six bonus points in their last eight games.

“They are unbelievably well drilled in their phase attack. They keep the ball for long passages of play.

“This weekend we know that we are going to be up against it and we will have to work hard.”

Ferreira also spoke about the impact that is expected from the younger member of the Munster squad. Click below to see the full video.
