Attack coach Sam Vesty talks about Northampton Saints' exciting style of rugby as the Premiership leaders prepare to face Leinster in the Champions Cup semi-finals.
Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra & BBC Radio Northampton; live text updates on BBC Sport website and appMost coaches urge their players to eradicate unforced errors, but Sam Vesty seems to encourage them.
"I love the fact that there are several ways of playing the game," the Saints attacking coach told BBC Look East. "With that you will make loads of mistakes, bad decisions and errors but we have to be happy in that environment where we want to learn and get better."Leicester-born Vesty was a utility back for hometown club Tigers as a player, but has since crossed the East Midlands divide as a coach."As a player, I had coaches who wanted to play with freedom and then as soon as there was a mistake they screamed, 'Don't do that, look after the ball'," recalled Vesty.
