Wigan Wall: Sean O’Loughlin OBE on Building the Best Defence in Super League | Wigan Warriors

Sean O’Loughlin is current Assistant Coach at the Wigan Warriors, the most successful club in the history of British rugby league. As an assistant coach responsible for defence, Sean is the leading architect behind arguably the best defence in the Super League era, having not conceded a single try (!) in back to back Grand Finals. As a player, Sean was also the long-term Captain of Wigan, as well as having had the honour of captaining England at international level. He was also capped for the Great Britain Lions on 11 occasions. We discussed what it is that makes Wigan’s defence so special, aggression, culture, contact, wrestle and building a defensive system. This is a must peak behind the curtain into one of the most successful professional sports organisations in the entire world.
