Codes Collide: Why Aggressive Defence Dominates in Contact & Collision Sports | Omar Mouneimne

Omar Mouneimne is an elite defence coach with almost two decades of experience working at the highest levels of professional rugby union in the world. He was most recently defence coach for Exeter Chiefs in the English premiership, and has also coached with Bristol, Edinburgh, Stade Français and the Sharks in Super Rugby, among others. Across rugby league, union & American football it is often the best defensive outfits who dominate. We sat down with Omar to discuss why that is, and why it’s important to be realistic about the physical, aggressive & collision based nature of the sports… And why that’s not something to be ashamed of. We also discussed how league has influenced union defence & what union can offer league today. Omar can be found on Instagram at @omar_mouneimne_ and via his website: omardefence.com
