Dunno how much of that was a coach taking pressure off his players (not something DF has been good at in the recent past, but it's what ogod coaches do), or if it was actually true, but the lineout did function much better after RH returned from his HIA, by which time DF could have made some changes in tactics.

Strange though that it has been misfiring a lot over the season to date, yet if he was able to fix it during that match, you'd think he could have fixed it much earlier in the season.

Something wee Dave Shanners on water duty or even the medical staff during the HIA could have done?

Interestingly, a search on "Ulster v Racing 92" returned nothing but "Racing 92 v Ulster" did.
Probably a deliberate attempt to fool the YouTube police

Thankfully, there's one redeeming feature - no one pays much attention to wot's writ here as it's usually a loada tosh.
