Heaslip: I don't think there's any problem with our lineout

Jamie Heaslip says he's unworried by Ireland's lineout despite Joe Schmidt's side losing half of their eight during defeat by Wales last Saturday.

The number 8 spoke to the media this afternoon ahead of Saturday's Six Nations finale against Scotland in Murrayfield.

When asked if he was confident Ireland could "fix that area", the 31-year-old said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with the lineout, not at all."

When pressed on the issue with the fact that Ireland had lost four out of eight the last days, Heaslip replied: "Yeah but if you look at the overall stats compared to last year at the same place ... I don't think there's any problems is what I'm trying to get at. Yeah we didn't execute on certain things but I don't think there's any problem."

The Leinster man also revealed that Ireland video review of the Cardiff loss was "brief". 

"We kinda looked at some missed opportunities and some kind of system errors and then very quickly moved on to the opportunities we have this week [against Scotland]," he said.
