“I think defence, along with a number of factors, has been an improvement area in our team,” Gibson said.
“We’ve talked a lot around how our increased fitness levels have led to a lot of improvements in all facets of our game, and I think for me, defence is around effort and mindset.
“It’s something we continually work at. Georgia will pose a different threat, in different ways, so defensively we have to be strong in our maul and our scrum defence.”
